This week for Photo Art Friday we had our choice.....
We could do either
Any piece of photo art
A piece using a layer mask
A piece using an original image of something not generally considered pretty.
My first image here is of something utilitarian (not generally considered pretty although it might be considered a fashion statement).
The running shoe was processed using PSE 9, Bonnie's texture called Smokin' and a texture by Nancy Donaldson which I call "geometric" and various filters. I also used this for Nancy's texture challenge. Check out her blog to see those entries.
I decided to do another piece below. The original image is from a retail display at Z Gallery.
I processed this using Bonnie's Touch of Gold texture and various filters. I'm really liking the "cutout" filter these days. Thanks, Bonnie for giving me that idea.
The world of Photoshop offers so much to learn. There's always a new tip, technique or idea. I think that is why I never tire of it.
So true that Photoshop seems to hold never-ending possibilities. Just love how you have edited these images - especially the first. Your editing choices could not be better - in my humble opinion! So glad you shared your work with Photo Art Friday Marilyn.
ReplyDeleteLove those colors and you must have had fun doing this piece!
ReplyDeleteHow fun! I've used the cutout a few times too after reading about it here - but then I forget in the heat of the next "new" technique. Ah well....it's forever fun to keep trying them all out. I like your two very different results!
ReplyDeleteThat first image would make a great poster print.
ReplyDeleteLove them both. Witty, colourful and different.
ReplyDeleteVery vivid, bright, colorful and soooooo much fun to view!!
ReplyDeleteMy art today is a QUILTED MOSAIC ROSE if you'd care to use my direct link. Have a glorious Friday.
great job!!!, the thing i love the most about ps haop is that i alway learn something and with a click of a button i can change the mood
ReplyDeletethanks for playing along
Great show piece. It's whimsical and fun. The bold colors combined with grunge really give is an edge. Well done!
ReplyDeleteLove your editing,Marilyn. You're a pro! Thanks for your comment on my blog - coming from you, it made by day.
ReplyDeleteI could spend hours doing this stuff! Great work!
ReplyDeleteThese are both outstanding! Nike should come to you for advertizing~
ReplyDeleteOh gosh they are both so unique and different. I like them both!
ReplyDeleteMarilyn, these are wonderful.
