Greetings for July’s The Squirrel Chase.com’s One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge. I have submitted the following post-edit processed photos. Using Lightroom, Photoshop, Topaz, and adjustments thereto, the output is the result you see below. I took a little fantasy theme this time around a photo to one of the doors to my shed.
The Original Photo Of the Shed’s Front door above.
Going into both PS and a previous preset of my own to make a pencil sketch, the photo worked itself to this outcome. It is also my favorite and made me want to play on for other fantasy-like drawings of the photos.
Here I played with more color saturated and contrast. That is a go-to for these fun post edits. After those edits, Topaz was the next stop for one of their presets.
I tried to give the photo a little of a scary look but I do need more practice in PS under the brushes and layers. So I think this photo will eventually be a part of discovering those abilities. I do like the way it came out though. I just used the Topaz oil painting preset and went under the file tab and used the basics to tweek it with a couple of layers of colors, contrast, and shadows for some fun and punch.
If anyone just loves to create in post processing shoot on over to The Squirrel Chase.com once a month for this fun bit of sharing artful editing in post.
Until next month when three more renditions come, thanks for stopping in.
You’re welcome. I have fun with photo editing too but usually don’t take the time to use the better editing programs. Used to have light room, now I have gimp which is good but usually don’t do more than crop, lighten, minimal color adjustment and clarity, sometimes turn them into greyscale.

Great Art effects, hard to pick one but I like the third one.
Thank you, sometimes when I get into the *zone* of these kind of edits it is hard to stop too 😉
A fortunate shed. It has a good-looking mat at its entrance. and rich vegetation all around it.
Thanks! It has been a nice little place to go and relax. No cell up there, so I can just wipe my feet and plop 🙂
Have a good day
Neat effects!
Thank you, it is so fun to get lost in playing.

I have heard good things about Gimp and I think I will check it out. I hear it is fun and easy to work with so it may work out well with me. 🙂
And it’s free!
and that is always a good thing!
p.s. Did you ever see the pic you took that I turned into a collage?
