One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge-September 2023

Directions for my methods:

This month I used the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) Artistic group of filters to play with this photo.

Waterpixels is a built in filter in the GIMP. It is found in the Artistic group in the Filters drop down menu. I used the default settings.

Softglow is also a built-in GIMP filter in the Artistic group. I used the default settings.

Simple Linear Iterative Clustering is another built in filter in the GIMP, found in the Artistic group in the Filters drop down menu. I used region size 132, compactness 7 and 4 iterations.

If you want to 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. Swing on over to my personal blog to join in.

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 or ping back so we can all see your creations.
6. Check out what other folks are doing for new ideas.
