Practicing…..
Rough around the edges, but what fun! I created layers, cut with the free select tool, copy and pasted the leaf background, moved P&J over a little.
Week 2, continued
creating layers, filling background with color gradient or blending, creating a border
Lasso selection tool
original, lasso with feather edges below…high feather setting
No feathered edge:
feathering set to 100 percent
not seeing the differences….
Oval selection tool
Saving as JPEG vs a gimp file. Feather edge option.
Small studies-1
Thank you for the suggestions to focus on the tree image and find the interesting details, Sharon and classmates. I’m looking for simple shapes that can be translated to stitch or piecing. Not sure where these are going, but just starting. I’ve added a high contrast version next to the original, accentuating the lines:
A cross:
A double cross:
Interesting division of the space:
Radiating from the center
Funny face, just for fun:
Color-Colorize
Remove hue to get sepia toned images, have to play with the slider buttons a little.
Color/Adjust Hue-Lightness-Saturation
Love this!
Original photo, on right, adjusted:
Hue 100 percent, lightness at 0, saturation 100 percent.
Color-Color Balance
Original, at right adjusted to look more like the actual mosaic—added yellow:
This will be very useful…glass is hard to get right because of the color and reflections.
Colors-BrightnessContrast
Original
Contrast at 98%, brightness increased slightly
Seems by adding brightness to a very dark photo, the photo becomes washed out and hazy.
For instance:
Original photo, on right is the altered photo with 75% brightness added:
Maybe I will learn of other color tools that will correct this….and save this photo.
Filters-Enhance-Sharpen
Original:
Sharpened to 50%
Original:
sharpened 75%
very subtle….
