Sounds like a lot of work to go through. I did some research into Orton Effect II and much of what I saw can be created in Photomatix Pro 6.0.3. |
That's what this whole discussion has been about. Do you want to learn something by experimenting yourself or just push a button someone's made for you ... there are arguments (and people here) in favor of both ... |

Only difference is you have the option to choose which effect you prefer from over a dozen choices including surreal. Editing tools allow you to control how the image looks to your personal preference and Finishing Touch gives you even more editing options. |

The ransom demand will be forthcoming. In the meanwhile do NOT go to SC with this or the outcome will not be pretty. Oh... wait... err... belay that... |

I do apologize, Janine! But... maybe you can Orton Effect your Yellow Five? |
I was thinking that might be good practice for when the OE challenge does get posted, though this time it will only work with the one-photo techniques. ;-) |

Write it up and post it in a (new) thread and see what people think. |

"Oooh, that sounds hard."
"What are you, yellow?"

| This is a little like focus stacking but this sort of photo manipulation can be accomplished with Photomatix. I agree w/Robert & Lydia that it's too obscure to include as a challenge. We need things we all can relate to like five and yellow. |

I think that this "effect" is even more obscure than Low Key and there was a huge problem with people knowing whether it fit (myself included).
I vote for something that's clear. Easy to understand.
I think some folks didn't enter and I know some folks didn't vote on Low Key because they didn't understand it.
What's wrong with "Five"? Or "Yellow"?
People understand what five and yellow mean, right?

Well, my post was in answer to how it could be done, but I didn't think it was a call that it should be done.
However, I do think that it makes some sense to "challenge" people to do it with the minimal investment in hardware and software, rather than just taking any old image and buying* some one-step software to (sort-of) do it for you; you don't really learn anything about photography that way except maybe figure out what sort of picture might benefit from the look.
*assuming you can afford it and the hardware to run it

Here’s my thoughts...
I’d rather have 1 picture - a flag that if Glamor Glow or a similar filter is used you will be disqualified.
Simple and straight forward.
Top 5 will get validated etc. |

| FWIW, I'm kinda scratching my head over the desire to force two separate originals. In the days when the effect was conceived, that was truly the only way to do it. Just because that was true then, doesn't mean we need to force ourselves to do it that way now. In fact, I would submit that using a single original is an inherently better process from a technical perspective. I've used it and similar techniques in the past to very good effect, and always used a single original, either with or without separate RAW processing. |
