photo after using smudge filter in Elements to give it an impressionist look
note the green frog boots
After cropping the photo, I used the smudge tool on the feet that were still in the picture.
I hoped to give the impression of fancy dresses moving behind the girl.

Very intriguing, I like the effect on the feet and think it worked well. I haven't learned much about manipulating my photos yet.
ReplyDeleteAl, you should try it - it is really fun. And if you save the manipulated ones as different files, you will not damage the original. Of course in this photo, the little girl, and the pavement were the only elements worth saving.
ReplyDeleteI love those cute little frog boots!

Wow, I'm really impressed! The smudge filter result is amazing, and I definitely have to try it for myself. Happy Halloween, hugs and Happy Pink Saturday from the UK!

Thank you for stopping by my Pink Saturday post! I love this, I think the smudge effect behind the little girl did achieve a look of movement & celebration and I do love her little green boots. I also like how the brightness of the bow in her hair really comes out in the altered photos. Did you enhance it? Very fun!
ReplyDeleteThank you all for visiting and for your comments. As I have now been blogging for 5 days, I appreciate your taking the time.
ReplyDeleteCalinMarie, I have the original edition of Elements. I often do a quick auto levels and auto contrast. If I like the effect of one or both, I leave it. Otherwise, I do little enhancement of color, contrast, etc. as I don't really have skills or software for more. In this case I don't remember if I used them or not.
someone think they are cute .I think so too. fun fun Laura
