A picture from a recent news paper, has the head coach leading the team out to do battle as the season is about to start earlier this past fall.. The original as it appears in the news paper might not seem to be the best starting position for messing with a picture but it in fact eliminates the need to do one of the effects and in truth it can be made to look better if I want it to..
Curves effect on either the Fast Stone picture viewer or my favorite program to mess with pictures Paint dot Net (referred to most times as PdN)..
From PdN the background changed with the paintbucket effect set in small checkerboard.. I was trying for something here, a secondary starting point that really didn't work..
So I changed the setting and went with the solid colour for that background, trying to change from what looked like early evening to a night look..
The reason for the picture above this one was to simulate a night sky with the spotlight look.. The the victors go the spoils.. this program is Adobe photoshop..
Ink sketch with the majority of the colour removed..
A colour masking in PdN..
Slight colour in PdN..
Red layer, with the picture painted full red then layered with the original curved version then layer properties altering the way it comes out..
My favorite of all the effects is the glowing edges in the photoshop program.. Most of my ideas revolve around this setting..
Lens flare added to the glowing edges picture from above.. this was the original idea that yielded the one above with the lens flares picture..
Ultimately my love for doing abstract wins out on all the pictures I do.. This is the glowing edges picture with the chalk and charcoal effect added.. Like I said I like doing these like this..
