What Would You Do? 121

My attempt is my feeble attempt at the style of Michael Levin



I decomposed the image into RGB and deleted the red and blue layers. I did curves adjustments to make the lights lighter and the darks darker (exaggerated S curve). I then made a copy of the green layer and set it into screen mode (that is what it is called in GIMP - not sure about Photoshop lingo). I noticed a few spots of sensor dust so I healed those. Then I added a layer mask to the screen mode layer and added a gradient so that the ocean part of the original layer would show through.

Michael Levin has some very cool images, check it out if you have never seen them - Michael Levin Photography

This is fun I like this game. Thanks windrider86!



In Photoshop I desaturated the original image then blended the Creature from the Black Lagoon into the water with a combination of erase, clone and healing brush tools. Adjusted Levels, used a plug-in called RealGrain on the Black & White Films setting using Kodak T-Max 100 film pushed 1 stop. Then used the Underwater Photo Filter at 10%.

Nice job on the blending and cool edit . I noticed you're from Philly - we are almost neighbors (well 50 miles or so anyway ) - nice to "meet you"

Thank you! I've noticed there are quite a few folks from the Central/Eastern PA area here. Nice to meet you too...

My 5 yo and I weren't seeing eye to eye on what to do with this picture, SO, I did one for her and one for me.

My Version:


In Gimp: Cropped, adjusted levels, did an unsharp mask, added two textures as layers and set layer mode to overlay, created transparent layer, did a large oval selection until the circle was outside the picture, inverted selection so only corners were selected, filled with black and lowered layer opacity to create vignette, flattened.

My 5 yo's version:


In Gimp: Cropped, Filters - Render - Clouds gave me the funky colors, selected the sky and colorized to get the blue color, Filters - Lights and Shadows - Supernova created the sun and rays , Filters-Distort-Iwarp gave me all the swirls. Flattened.

Both versions came out great. I love the texture on the first and the second has a Van Gogh feel to it.

From Desktop

Started with adjusting the curves so it looks like a cross processed image. then levels, vibrance, vignette, and some sharpening.
