Actually, It's all just computer photoshop.

I have been using photo-textures (like you find when you scan google images) but I have been unhappy with the results. They always look like a collage.

So I took the computer-photo generic render and ran a watercolor filter over it.....which looked, but removed all the detail.

So, I tried some other generic photoshop filters and got a combo that seems to keep enough detail, yet add enough watercoloring.

I don't have alot of experience in doing this, and I am always trying to get nice looks from plans (but like most people, time is money) so that's why I wanted some professional opinions.

I would look for opinions from regular graphic website forums, but they aren't tuned to landscaping, and don't know what landscape pros are looking for....

And I really do appreciate those of you who downloaded the 'big' version, iut's hard to really see what the effect is unless you see the whole thing.

And thanks, I will work on the plant colors, I know what you mean!
