Thanks all; it's nice to be back.

Celia your first flag really stands out: the enhancement of the folds and creases is both pleasing and realistic. Great work

I have used a displacement map for mine:

Love your first image Celia. Second fine too.

Folks:
Just come and see us in Cork.

History, yes loads of it.

Its Tri Colour flag here, see Mad Lep, not the Union Jack

And I will not mention any history about this. I just feel sorry for something I can not explain.

Thanks Jota,
Now that I have figured out how to do it I had to do one more, here is my Danish flag.

Here is my flag. This was kind of tricky to do but I used the Liquify to distort the flag. I'm sure there are better ways of doing this.

It doesn't matter what flag you wave, we all live under the same sky!

Nobody's doing any Swastika flags or anything equally distasteful.

Back to the drawing board...
