SATURDAY SELF-CHALLENGE
22 SEPTEMBER 2018
"TAKE A PHOTO AND POST PROCESS IT TO ACHIEVE THE GOAL FOR YOUR SUBJECT"

Over many years I have tried 'painterly' effects with varying degrees of failure and occasional success :-) A long time back I was pleased with the results from using the 'Art History Brush' in Photoshop 6. But the more I used this process the worse I got!

A while back I came across the 'Dream Smoothing' filter in GIMP Photo software. I have been pleased with some of the results :-) I have previously uploaded a few photos where the effect was used but they were mostly using the default settings.

GIMP says -
"A relatively slow filter that uses anisotropic filtering to smooth an image. More iterations produces a softer image as does lower opacity values. Practical modes for merging are Alpha and Average. The results are resolution dependent".
Of course I knew this :-)))

This week I have spent a lot time trying different combinations of the settings. Already there appear to be endless combinations :-)

The Arty border came from a free giveaway of Borders in 'Digital Photo' magazine from a long time back.

In the PiP one I think I may have got a little bit carried away :-)

I thought you had your images reversed for the challenge. I really like the PIP. Your subtle treatment on your submitted piece is effective and a good balance to all of the dramatic effects from many of the others this week. I viewed them from the back to the front this week.
