ATCs: November 2006

Same card. First the "Hues" option got tweaked to alter the colors. The Paint Bucket tool did some smaller changes. Then the whole thing went through the "Pixellate: Halftones" filter on a pink dot setting, which added some texture and a pink undertone to some of the clouds.

Collage on board, with some colored pencil added. Originally posted 11/6/06. For the record: "Tidbits" are boneless, cooked pigs' feet.

Same card, run through "Pixelate: Color Halftone." Used the smallest setting available, with the "Exclusion" mode and a low opacity percentage (less than 20).

Same card as before. First it went through the "Artistic: Sponge" filter. The clouds were added with a brush and the Smudge tool. The Clone Stamp was used to move the sign letters around. Other miscellaneous changes.

Same picture, run through a filter called "Sketch: Plaster," in either "Darken" or "Difference" mode. (I forgot to remember which one.) Some other adjustments using Paint Bucket and a few brushes, etc.

Same image, post-alteration. Brushed some clouds into the sky to create texture before running the whole thing through the "Artistic: Colored Pencil" filter. Worked several areas over with the Smudge tool. A little Desaturate sponge on the wedding-cake couple to make them less garish color-wise. Other minor adjustments.
