The optional theme this week over at Bonnie's Pixel Dust Photo Art was "Hardware" but I was just not feeling the love on that subject. Instead, I decided to share some of the playing around I did with my new "software". I had received a fabulous offer via email from Serif.com in December as they were giving deeply discounted prices on a number of software items that been replaced by upgraded versions. I was particularly interested in the PhotoPlus4 and ordered a copy.
I also got a lot of practice with watermarking my photos.
My model for this session was Zack, a Ragdoll/American Shorthair cross.
This first shot is the original.
Here I have used a Giger filter . . .
and this is also the Giger Filter with different settings on the sliders.
The Filter I used for the next two are both called Munchist and again they show the variations available with different settings on the adjustment sliders.
This style is called Expressionist . . .
. . . and Impressionist.
Zack in Oils . . .
. . . and Paint & Ink,
and finally, Van Gogh style.
I have been having a lot of fun with this and trying out all the tutorials available. So much more to learn. And for the record, I am not being compensated in any way from Serif.com.
Please do stop by Bonnie's and tour the gallery of this weeks submissions.
Wow Andrea, you have a gorgeous model and the results of all the different applications are lovely ... think my fav is the Expressionist. Love your watermark too - very discreet yet clear.
ReplyDeleteWow - I adore all the different styles - it is like you can see the kitty's soul.
ReplyDeleteI love getting a review of the artistic styles of the past periods in European art, a kind of art history post. I saw a minister once sing one hymn and change it to sound like the 30's, 40's, 50's etc. That was an auditory history. Yours is a visual history. This was so fun!
ReplyDeletenice. what a lot of fun that must have been for you. YUM!!
ReplyDeleteBeing a fan of Dagas and Seurat (as well as other expressionists) I really like the adjustments. It's amazing what some programs can do these days. And may I say... your model is quite the handsome little man. :) Thanks Andrea.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Andrea... and here I am with pencil or brush and paint to do what you do in just moments... technology is amazing and so much fun!
ReplyDeleteLove your cat... great model!
wow, what can I say. You had fun. It is a lovely cat and you did the most of it. This post could be right for my meme NF Abstract. If you like. Next one is due on wednesday.
