Explored! Thank you very much :-) 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 :-) And, for Sight and Sound : Pictures & Music ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ Listen here ~ Some Bridges ~ Jackson Browne

~ Explored! ~ Thank you very much :-))) I have no idea if this is the correct colour of a 'San Antone Rose' :-)) But, no matter, I am linking this to "I'll Be Your San Antone Rose" by Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band. A performance on the Old Grey Whistle Test. Ah, memories, memories, memories of seeing Emmy several times in concert. Must have been the late 70's I guess :-) I even made myself an Emmylou Harris coffee table :-))) The Hot Band - Albert Lee................Lead Guitar Rodney Crowell......Guitar, Vocals Emory Gordy...........Bass, Vocals Hank De Vito...........Pedal Steel Guitar Glen D Hardin.........Piano John Ware..............Drums Added to ~ Sight and Sound Listen here ♫ ♪ ♪ ♫ ~ I'll Be Your San Antone Rose ~ Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band Another performance from German tele I guess :-) ♪ ♫ ~ I'll Be Your San Antone Rose ~ Emmylou Harris & The Hot Band p.s. there was a lot of messing 'bout in Gimp Photo Software :-)
