Only two days this summer I took a swim. This was the first of them.

And, it turned into:

A global adventure

For this image I used, first curves to make it brighter,  Then I changed the size of the image. Making it a long rectangle. Then I used Polar Coordinates to distort the image. Normally Polar Coordinates is used to create globes with cities and landscapes on. But this is fun too.

Now, over to you, share with us what you created and have fun looking on others :)

For the black and white I converted the image in ACR and then applied filter glowing edges to the image.

The Optional theme for next weeks DAM is: BOKEH. And for those who don´t know what BOKEH is, it is the unfokused part of an image that can be seen in my images on my photoblog. HERE BOKEH is great to use as texture if you like to do texture work.

If  you want to share your Digital/Photo Art  on Facebook I have created a GROUP for that purpose. You can join if you like. Why not check it out! Would love to see you there.

In ACR I pushed the Fill light up to 100. as far as it went. Notting else. Fill light is not doing the image lighter. It fills in light where it is needed. 

Then I opened the image in Photoshop.  

I was aiming for a drawing and Ink outlines suited what I wanted. The options Stroke = 10, dark intensity = 2 and light intensity = 25.

Then the usual downsize a simple frame and my logo. Frames is not really needed but as my blog is black I want a frame to separate the image from the background.

The best of summer..   Done!

First I had to clone away the dirt on the left side. Then I made the image a bit lighter.
 
After that I opened the image in ACR /Adobe Camera Raw) and CS5. I wanted to get rid of the snow and tried the Adjustment brush (Lagningspensel) and it worked. I could remove it without having to avoid the grass. Marvellous! A great tool.

But after posting it on my blog the contrast to the blogs black page too great. I went back to Arc Soft Photo studio and created the soft frame

Done!

The shot opened in CS5 camera Raw. I had read in a book that there is a way to sharpen only certain parts of the shot so I wanted to explore that. I choosed the third button named Detail in the row. The function there is to mask all soft parts of the photo leaving edges to be sharpened. If you press the ALT button on your keyboard the window becomes BW and lets you see what is going to be sharpened. Well. I kind of liked the bw image shown. And that is where I got in trouble.

While pressing the ALT button and simutainiously pushing the 4th handle "Masking" the bw image shows you the amount of sharpening. I liked it but as soon as I took my finger off the ALT butten or the Masking handle the bw dissappeared. To solve that problem I had to use my left hand to press ALT and to move the Masking handle. And with the right hand try to take a shot with my powershot camera. PUH! Not easy as the mouse slipped away all the time or I droped the handle. But I got one shot that was good enough to be able to fix. :)

Well, I liked what that thing did so I probably use it again. :)

Done!
