Just a few photo's I've been changing digitally. Don't ask me how I did it, just keep playing around with different settings and wot not.

A couple more.
First one was taken this morning at the allotment.

Oh the colours! And the iris!! You are going to fill up my 'puter at this rate!!

Managed to get the process down to 4 changes on the software. Now I think I've cracked it I think I ought to record a action. Bit like macro's in excel software, you record all the changes you do to a photo. It saves the instructions, then you just have to click on one button to start the action. Computer does the rest.
Very clever and time saving.
Glad you like the photo's.

Like the irises and GWs tulip especially. They look like somewhere between watercolour paintings and silk painting. ;D

Tulipa · « **Reply #11 on:** May 16, 2005, 17:39:37 »

They are beautiful dd, some of them remind me of stained glass. I love the colours.

You should market them.. They would look great on greeting cards. Particularly like the green calendular (if that's what it is).

What programme are you using? Is it paint shop pro?
Love the tulips. :) 8)

I thought the same as tullipa, they look like stained glass.

They are all fab but I especially like the tulip. ;D

love the tulip , looks great keep them coming DD

Heldi · « **Reply #17 on:** May 16, 2005, 21:21:46 »

I love these. I think they would look great as prints. I'm particularly taken with Greenwizard's tulips. Brilliant! It shows that the pic has to be a good one in first place to be made something as artful as these doesn't it ?

Wicker · « **Reply #18 on:** May 16, 2005, 23:08:17 »

Impressive or what, DD!!

Dirkdigger · « **Reply #19 on:** May 16, 2005, 23:48:58 »

I think that's quite right Heldi. No amount of messing about will make a bad photo good. You might make it appeal to a few more people.
To be honest the process is quite easy. The program is Photoshop CS. But don't let that bother you. The same can be done on Paint shop pro (I think).
All I do is copy my original photo as a new layer (this makes a copy of my original photo and lies it on top my original) On the new layer invert it to produce a negative image, then add a filter called Paint Daubs (still with me ?)this will turn it into a painting. Then still on my new layer, change the blending mode to lighten. Doing this blends the original picture with my new layer. After this flatten the image to make it only one layer again. Give it a little adjustment in levels and hue and saturation, then save it.
Not really hard give it a go. I just like to play around tweaking this and blending that. See what I come up with.
