Some examples...

The hot rod has gone all prickly. The clown is a painting. The flower is aglow. The Getty has been encrusted in blister pack. The leaves are being sucked into a rift in space/time. A gallery of viewers is seen in a time-lapse still (handheld, too).

Although iButterfly+Box (below) is most often used for portraits--especially for kids--it does lend itself to other illustrative purposes, here made with a detail from a motorcycle. Rollover the image for a different automotive interpretation.

Here's a new look, in greater depth, of how a single image can become eight variations in just a few moments using the "Carnet" function found within several Actions sets.

A carnet is a book of tickets in the Paris Metro, sold for one flat fee.

In the iLiners -series, an extra Action, iLinerCarnet, runs all the variations at once, for a book of results from one flat click.

Two minutes later, all eight finals end up on the History Palette, ready for you to pick out the one you like best. Click on the image to go to the special iLiners page.
