CB Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 Took some new pics of my Li'l T (with the big wheels) the other day and while getting the pics ready for uploading, I was doing the final adjustments-- cropping, lighting adjustments, etc in the simple HP Image Zone I have here. Here's the 'normal' pic of the Li'l T adjusted for best look before uploading to my Fotki. Here I converted it to black & white, did some pushing of the limits of contrast & brightness, etc, saved it to a jpeg, then put it in my Photo Explosion softie to 'sign' it. Almost has a pencil drawn look to it. Just might have to print it up and frame it. Basically same drill: First, in HP Image Zone, I applied the 'solarization' filter to the top image. I believe I then did a wee bit of adjusting of the contrast & lighting in 'adjust image', and again, saved it to a jpeg, opened it up in Photo Explosion to 'sign' it. Always like the effect when applying the solarization filter. I spend waaaaayy too much time playing with the little colored pixels Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jairus Posted February 6, 2010 Share Posted February 6, 2010 I like the Black and White and ... .NO YOU DON'T! Playing around can also be called practicing. Very important to know how when the time comes to use those skills and you never know unless you try. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CB Posted February 6, 2010 Author Share Posted February 6, 2010 Thanks Jairus. Yeah, the b&w works. Solarization can be cool, but everything just has to be right for that to happen. I do so like seeing the colors change tho..... I've almost thought of changing my user name to "Pixel Pilot' at times. Being OCPD, I must be productive, so yeah, my 'playing' is at all times really 'practising' to the un-informed. Gotta be me, and the more I is me, the better off everything, and everybody, is Since I 'retired' 4 years ago from 33 years inna steel mill, I love telling peeps when asked what my occupation is--"Goof off" Awaiting delivery of my new super Dell computer (12GBRAM--1TB hard drive) Unless the FedEx truck is running a plow up front, I doubt it's gonna show up today tho with all the snow we got. Was supposed to arrive yesterday. I'm part of a band and they have been so kind as to provide Adobe's Creative Suite 4 so I can do video editing as well as other artwork. Really looking forward to being back in the hallowed halls of PhotoShop again Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
