One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge-June 2022

Badge for the one-to-three photo processing challenge.

Join the One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge to have some creative fun with photos.

The purpose of the One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge is to play. These days we have so many different ways to process a photo: from phone apps to Photoshop. And these different software options make it accessible for anyone to get fun and beautiful effects. Whether you have a lot of time or a little.

I’ve been spending a lot of my pandemic playing with photo processing. Because it is a relaxing indoor activity that I can do for free (I mostly use open-source programs and old versions of paid programs). And I thought it might be fun to share what I’ve been doing and see what other folks are trying out.

No complicated rules, just:

  1. Pick a photo you want to play with.
  2. Process it using three different methods.
  3. After that create a blog post with the original and your creative products. Alternatively, if it is easier for you, you could post a gallery on Instagram with #tsc_1to3.
  4. If you can, please include a description of your methods. So others can give them a whirl.
  5. Then add a comment below containing the link to your post (pingbacks don’t work). So we can all see your creations.
  6. Check out what other folks are doing for new ideas.

I can hardly wait to see what you create.

May creations:

Here’s my one-to-three contribution for this month:

Directions for my methods:

I experimented within the GIMP and the G’mic plugin I have for it this month. For information about the GIMP and G’mic check out my GIMP Articles and Tutorials page.

For my first one I used the tinted sketch process that I describe in this post: How to get a tinted sketch effect using the GIMP.

The second one is a G’mic filter called Morphology Painting. Morphology Painting is in the Artistic set of G’mic filters. Filters>G’MIC-Qt.

My third take uses another G’mic filter: the Illustration Look, also found in the Artistic set.
