Fun with Filters...and I Love Your Blog!

I have been playing with some amazing plug-in Photoshop filters from Topaz Labs. I downloaded the free 30 day trials of Vivacity and Adjust and am seriously considering buying Adjust while it's on special offer. Might ask for Vivacity for Christmas. If you click the link you can find out all that they can do, but here's a few photos I enhanced.

Singer Chris Cornell, who I used to have a popular web page for, before he started moving in musical directions I didn't much care for.

I visited the Lost Gardens of Heligan in Cornwall a few years ago, a truly magical place and this is one of the photos I took given the Topaz Labs treatment. I had to reduce the image size quite a lot (these filters tend to add megabytes!) but if you click on it you can see it a bit larger.


A photo I found on the Internet, given the Vivacity treatment. Don't ask me how I did these, I just moved sliders until I got the effect I wanted.

Now, on to my second blog award, this one from my pal Val of Flippinpest's Crafty Roll fame. Cheers m'dear :-)

I am so not ready for Photoshop, I admire and marvel at what artist's create with it. Your Cornwall photos are amazing!
