painting

This was fun, let's do it again.

Advanced editing.

That last challenge should have been called 'Picture(s) become fantasy artwork posters'. I was anticipating more 'painterly' type entries.

LOL ... yes, please - if this must be done do it with the 'Minimal' editing ruleset. Grab the vaseline, or nylon stockings!

I'd be excited for it - of course I'd take it to mean create a surreal and neon-colored light painting photo that would get lots of '1' votes.

Still think we should do this again.

Yes let's do it.

I haven't been around for a while, so am a bit rusty with my rules of what can and can not be done. For advanced editing, can we use filters in pp? I thought "not", but had a quick squiz through the first challenge and it seems there were filters applied in pp? What about inverting colors and using layers in blend mode of the *same* image to get to different color effects? Something like this, which started out as a red drop in water on a white background. //1x.com/photo/769178/all:user:444922 I don't know what to do yet, just want to know where my limits are :-).
Would appreciate if someone could just clarify. Also, just to clarify, no textures (as layers) allowed right?
thanks

Hello Gaby!

I think if you read the rule page, it will probably answer all your questions.
Just keep in mind that even if something IS legal (such as a texture), you need to be careful about this rule: "......NO new shapes or features may be created in the process."

I always try to imagine how ten outsiders would describe my photo - if they include something that wasn't in the original (or leave OUT something that was prominant/obvious/important), then I've probably crossed the line.

Here is the link to your other shot - just select the words and use the 6th icon along the top to create it: link to image

Oh and when you talk about the "first challenge", I assume you mean this one ?

Be very careful - THAT challenge was Expert Editing rules!!!!

Ahhhh ... thank you. See, that's me, always in a rush, not looking carefully :-(.

Original, processed in Lightroom



Have wondered about Topaz Impression. Would either or both of these edits be legal in Advanced?
12/12/2014 05:08:06 PM · #14
I have not experimented much with giving images the feel of painting. Anyone willing to elaborate on the best techniques for doing this?

Apparently this is too much for the Advanced Editing rules:


But this is not?

For the top one, it might depend on what the original looked like. Hopefully one or more SC will leave some comments!

Elaine, I really like "edit 2"



It is different to "just" a photograph, yet it isn't distorted beyond recognition, so in MY opinion (for whatever that might be worth), it should certainly be legal.

I think you applied the perfect amount of change to that image for this challenge.

Hey Gaby! Great to see you again!

There have been a few adjustments to the rules since you've been here. We are now allowing texture overlays in Advanced, although as Karin pointed out, they cannot be applied to the point of "creating a new area". Color shifting has always been allowed.

Regarding the application of filters, again, moderation. Since these are relatively new additions, we're still working out the DQ line, which is why those two images were posted.

The rules have changed. We are now allowing "textures" in advanced editing, and that has had the effect of loosening up our tolerance level for "art filters". Just don't go off-the-wall crazy and you'll be fine in this particular challenge, I'm pretty sure :-)

ETA: I see I'm echoing Tanguera here :-)

I used this action on one of mine and like the results, but would this result in a DQ?

I wouldn't think so, no.

Cool, thanks. Didn't spot edit anything but it's an obvious effect, but I think too subtle wouldn't meet the challenge

.

Advanced rules means, I think, that we can't use filters & plug-ins as they can create new image areas. I went looking for photos that remind me of paintings--usually that means deliberate use of shadow & light and also distorting, or changing, reality. What say you?

I think it's a bit confusing too.

Am I right in saying that if a filter is applied to the whole photo it's OK, but manually distorting or adding/removing things is not OK (recent DQ in self portrait challenge)?

I feel like this challenge should have been Expert editing, because I think people will be holding back on executing their concept due to the ruleset and not wanting to be DQ.
