Filter……

…………...……Fun



An artistic version of a pink Anemone Japonica - the common name is Japanese Windflower.

In my early days on blip I remember Hobbs Run encouraging blippers to have fun playing with filters. Filterama Monday was a challenge I loved, and I discovered many of the different effects in Photo Elements. I eventually moved to Photoshop and since then the filters largely remained unused.

After playing with filters in other programmes for yesterday’s Abstract Thursday challenge I thought I should rediscover possibilities in PhotoShop.

This is what I did for today’s photo using photoshop

Filter - Filter Gallery - Artistic - coloured pencil
[pencil width 5 - stroke pressure 7 - paper brightness 50] Click on OK

Filter - Render - Picture frame
[frame 47: Dual rounded art frame - vine colour selected by clicking on the colour square - margin 5 - size 2- arrangement 1] Click on OK

Thanks Anni, BikerBear, for today’s Flower Friday challenge.


Many thanks for the comments, stars and special heart for yesterday’s underwater garden with an added painterly effect.
