Digitally Enhanced/manipulated Photos...

Some night glow Tulips from the gardens of Cheekwood.

instead of posting huge i'll just post many.

well since everything I do is digitally enhanced i could put my whole portfolio here - have to restrain myself

I captured this image today as I creeped around a cemetery.

Gotta love a photo-manip thread! :-)

All spectacular - keep them coming!

Another of mine...

This may be more of a "digitally transformed" rather than a "digitally enhanced" photograph.

Using the challenging "Scribbler Too" free program I produced this:

Barbara Orenya

The beach is a real place called "Betterton", which is on the Eastern Shore of Maryland. I added a few elements to give the image more interest including the planet, moon, and birds. :)

@ Andy -- Your 'Liberty' made me think of . . .

Some elaboration of the OOB (Out Of Bounds) technique, also known as OOF (Out Of Frame).

@wendy - very similar technique, very similar subject.....

Great minds, and all that!

:-)

uploading tiny squares again.

CARMEN,

I've missed you so much

Missed you too Roger :) Here's a piece based on Her Royal Divaishness, our Lucky cat -- 17 years with us this year -- came calling as a feral kitten.

Carmen,

For your feline friend, a special year, the SEVENTEENTH...The little animal, I'm sure, will have great fun with the guests we'll all be having this year:

The "Seventeen Year Cicada".

This is not a very high resolution image, because of heavy cropping, but I removed a bird feeder on the right of the bird, to the top of the frame, and added a blended background over the feeder with a content aware fill, added the flower, and did some manual blending of the flower to beak interface. I tried to size the flower close to the right proportions in regard to the bird. I used Topaz Adjust Photo Pop with slight adjustments to brighten colors and increase contrast in the resulting composite image.


For comparison, here also is the same bird, a shot within seconds from the image above, processed much the same way, but with an additional layer of topaz simplifiy "buzsim" to give it a slightly posterized look while maintaining good detail, and also kick the color way up to the "ridiculously intense" levels I sometimes like. You see why I almost always remove the feeder!

i'll add my latest

Here's a couple of mine.

I thought I'd share my Escape, hot air balloons escaping from a bottle, and Music Collage, a collage done in rust and black tones with touches of color.

Digitally sucking up the facial color from a photo of one of my "Medusa Cameos"



I created this "Pixel Pointillism" Image:



I might have gone overboard with the hair

1. The first is an OOF (Out Of Frame), also known as OOB (Out Of Bounds).
2. The second is a composite and OOF (Out Of Frame), also known as OOB (Out Of Bounds).
3. The third is a photograph with added border enhancement via Photoshop paint brushes.

New from the "Ladies of Rodeo Drive" collection.

This one sold!

Any chance you'll start thread #2 of your very popular thread Andy? Taking a while to load all the posts....thanks!

Another Medusa:

3D Stereo Anaglyph - Red/Cyan filtered 3D glasses required for viewing...

"Pixel Pointillism" has gone Reptile:

I'm quite new here and these are few of my favorites:

I just added, Rotten Spot, a collage that deals with how we treat others, and Black And White Music Collage, which depicts a warped keyboard on sheet music, topped off with a red rose.

These are my two newest pieces, both are made with photos and digitally constructed The Blackbird Ladder has over 15 individual images and the Red Butterfly 8...

3D Stereo Crossview:
Gently converge (cross) your eyes and focus on the middle image that appears while ignoring the outside. (Not everyone is successful with this method of "freeviewing" however, if you are successful, it becomes easier each time and eventually 2nd nature!)



3D Stereo Anaglyph:
For those who have Red/Cyan filtered 3D glasses, you can view the anaglyph format here...



2D (Not 3D Stereo)...

3D Stereo Crossview:

@ Brian ... that's AWESOME!!!!!!!!!! Clever you!!!!

not sure how to post a picture here- I'm new to diccussions

Thanks for responding Lois!
(It's rare that anyone does)

This image is a 3D Stereo Anaglyph, meant to be viewed with Red/Cyan filtered 3D glasses. It is a fractal related composite of two designs created through the freeware "Chaoscope", and further manipulated and aligned via StereoPhoto Maker. Viewed through the appropriate 3D glasses, the image incorporates a "Through The Window" effect which further enhances depth perception...



Further composite manipulation produced this rendering...



And finally this approach when I entered my first FAA contest looking for an icon for their group...

Being a lifelong photographer and my knowledge of working in production darkrooms, the art of sepia tone was achieved in the dark room of a film processing because of modern advances by manipulating an original its not as time consuming and more effective in the final product. This is one of my favorites, I have achieved the effect desired in this photo.



What was achieved in the past while working in dark rooms such as exposure controls, dodging effects, while the photo was being processed you could use a hand held object to achieve certain effects during he processing, presently with modern advances in the filming industry you are in control of the photo with sliders to control the desired density of colors and contrast.

@Carmen, your veiled regret is masterful achievement. Bravo

How does one post their pics here? Thanks.

@Lee, on the lower right hand side of you image page, you will see an image link, highlight, select all, copy. Then go to the discussion, and right click and paste it. It will look like HTML, but when you submit, your photo will appear!

thank you...

Here are my offerings----a painting look, Pink Crape Myrtle, and Black And White Music Collage.

Ive highlighted it but my entire right click is dead. I tried using the preview and copying from that but doesnt work. Yes, Im signed in, lol

Could it be that Ive not yet joined as a full member?

Lee if you can highlight the image link try going to edit and copy it there then paste it here

Thanks David but what I was saying is that once I hightlight the image link I have no copy function from my mouse as I would normally have with right click. Likewise the left click is totally deactivated. Any suggestions? Im thinking it is because I am still a "free" member and have not yet upgraded, which I will be doing shortly. I wanted to be sure this was a site I really wanted to be involved with.

Lee, it doesn't matter that you're at Free status.

Try highlighting the link, then go to the menu at the top of your browser and choose Edit - Copy. Then come here and choose Edit - Paste.

Easy, peasy! :-)

This was taken in Las Vegas, NV on Freemont Street. Loved this huge martini glass forever.

I think it should still work

okey dokey, lol

One of my many 'hardware' images -

Here you go Lee -- the image link to copy & paste is marked so on the right side of your portfolio page -

okay now Im totally confused, lol, but that often doesnt take much. After I highlight in FAA there is NO menu at the top, just the address bar beginning with http: Are you saying I need to close FAA?

Lee, I'm gonna private message you and walk you through this. Hang tight . . . :-)

Thanks Wendy -- have to head out -- Lee, you're on your way ;) Meanwhile....back at the ranch...

Andy, I only add this because it looks like the same corner, just decades apart …

Yay, Lee! :-)

Thanks all for trying to help...muchly appreciated!

3D Stereo Crossview: Gently converge (cross) your eyes and focus on the middle image that appears...

Here are a couple of mine:

Colors was used in Patricia Cornwell's movie, "Hornets nest" (Turner Mystery movie night) The set director found my image on FAA...

Congratulations, Stuart -- that's exciting to hear! :-)

Some of my windmill photo art -

-- Susan Savad

All three images were actually of my photography work and I manipulated it into digital art. Kind of a new concept I'm working on right now, so I'm just exploring and seeing what I can do. :)

Havent been here for a few weeks as busy moving house, but these images added are really top quality. This has turned into a great thread, hope it continues.

@Lar Matre - That is an amazing coincidence...very similar pictures but also very different.

You're making me hungry Barbara! ;)
