Playing in Photoshop

I googled ‘photoshop’ – I need to wash my eyeballs now. -.- Image Source: logo-kid.com

It’s Tuesday, which means I made it through Monday.

Yay!

I’ve been busily working on photos, though I still don’t have as much time as I would like to.

A few more days, and then I will have some extended time to spend in-world.

After taking my Photoshop class, I’ve been trying to apply what I learned.

I was taking some pics in-world at Slink West (a really beautiful sim!) and trying out the new filters they added to Firestorm with the last update.

I generally take a couple of pics with different windlights, but sometimes I try out the filters just for fun, to see what they do.

I used a filter and really liked the effect; however, I decided I wanted to try and recreate the look myself in Photoshop, rather than just using the FS filter.

When I posted the photo in the LOTD post, Yummy asked if it was a FS filter.

So yay!

I think I accomplished what I wanted, if that’s what she thought. 🙂

This is the original photo.

I cropped it, of course.

And I was using the system avatar, so some work with liquify was in order.

Then I played around a bit with various things in Photoshop.

What I ended up with was this:

I usually try not to change the look of LOTD posts too dramatically.

If I’m showing off an outfit, I want it to show as it would in-world.

Sometimes, though, it’s just fun to play around.

You can do so many different things in Photoshop.

With this photo, I was trying to recreate the filter I liked.

I was happy with the way it turned out, but I rarely think a photo is ‘done.’

It’s not exactly like the photo I got with the FS filter.

That photo looked like this:

I’m so glad that FS added the filters to the viewer.

It gives me another set of options to play around and have fun with.

The Black Dragon viewer is still a bit faster when it comes to actually taking the high-res photos, but it’s nice to have choices.
