Finding My Emotive Self
May 26, 2008
This was a little project inspired once again by Chica’s Photo Projectz site. The challenge was to
“Take a photo you like… and play around with it in your favorite editing program to come up with a heavily filtered look that you feel adds to the image and leaves you with an entirely different (when compared to the original), but enjoyable, result.”
I chose an image I took a while back. It’s an emotive portrait. I started fiddling with my filters and sliders in the GIMP. I ended up using a very heavy dose of the oil painting filter followed by some extreme unsharp masking. I liked the warm rich color and the heavy shadow effect. Hopefully this edit has enhanced my emotive effect.

Very artistic! Nice print. It’s amazing what you can do with photo software. I have Paintshop Pro but am only just getting the hang of how to use it. I’m discovering and learning new things all the time.
