Photoshop Experiments.

I'm a little un inspired photographically wise at the moment, but have been playing around with some older images in Photoshop, and here is what I came up with, the last being my fav.

EDIT: For some reason the third image isn't showing. Here's the link.

I like the second one, the first one doesnt' do much for me. Mic might like it, but it's not my cup of tea. I'd be keen to see the original too

Here is the original!



I used the water colour filter. For the first it was Plastic Wrap and then solarized, and for the third (which still won't embed for some strange reason), I converted to b&w using channel mixer and levels, and used the rough pastels filter with a sandstone texture.

Just experimenting to pass the time while I really should be doing other things.

I'd try burning/dodging different parts of the image and using layermasks with curves to adjust different areas of the image

Much more satisfying than running the bog standard PS filters on them

Give it a whirl

Yep #1 isn't my cuppa tea either....

#2 has a Monet feel to it.... that would look great as a large print on a wall. Out of the three this is my favorite.

Number #3 is also an interesting image, the white streaking has a unique effect when combined with the B/W converstion

Well done with your filtering... its certainly something a bit different
