Playing With PhotoShop, January 19th

Started with some pictures taken about three years back when I was working for a property development company. In this particular case I was inspecting an abandoned site to see what kind of shape it was in if we should buy it, tear (almost) everything down, and build new apartments. In one abandoned auto repair shop the locals had broken in and covered the inside in graffiti.

I’m not a big fan of graffiti, particularly of the gang tagging variety. But this was more artistic and colorful, not just there to leave a mark.

Starting with four of those pictures and then just messing around with combinations of PhotoShop adjustments, filters, and alteration tools. When it looked “interesting” I stopped.

    These are great! I really like the first and third. I once played with these settings but at the time didn’t have any reason to use them. Now I think I could use them for covers etc. I had good success with a Christmas scene using the tehnique in your second one.

    Great reminder, Paul! More, please šŸ™‚

  2. Nice! Photoshop just confuses the hell out of me and I always admire the creativity and expertise of those who know how to use it! šŸ™‚
