G'day all,
How many of you have like to play with MS Photo Editor ?
I have just discovered the 'Effects' fuctions, especially the watercolour button.
I find it excellent on sunsets, landscapes, buildings can even look good.
Here's just a few I've done in the last day or so . . .
Deep Creek - Eagle Waterhole camp
Coorong
Sunset on the Coorong
Carrick Hill
Most times I lighten a pic up a bit, then hit watercolour. Experiment with different grades of brush detail and texture, usually I have shadow intensity to minimum.
You can also enlarge a photo quite a bit, loose the detail somewhat, and it comes out nice in watercolour anyway.
Like it ? I usually save as the original name with w after it for reference.
If you don't like it, and it doesn't always suit a pic, then just back button and don't save.
The results can be worth printing (in high quality on textured paper) and framing !
I can see this is going to take more of my time to the computer ! (Probably late at night.)
