Pictures of Glasgow - Altered ImagesI think some people here enjoy altering their photos for a different kind of creative look (more that purely fixes on contrast, saturation and brightness etc)..so maybe a thread dedicated to this kind of thing would be a good idea. Another thread could be started for photo manipulation of other general subjects.St Andrews in the Square

Nice shot and a good idea, keeps all the Shopp'd stuff to one area.
I'll add a couple later. |

This is what happens when your printer gets bored and decides it doesnt have any colour ink

Very similar outcomes to two different images images and I have to say "OOOoooohh!! Me Likey!!" 
How did you do that Minxy? |
||||
| wee minx |
Well Doorstop...... 
Photoshop 1 - Duplicate the main layer 2 - Image ..Adjust...Desaturate 3 - Duplicate the desaturated layer 4 - Image ..adjust..Invert 5 - Change blending mode to colour dodge ( might look like a blank layer..but thats ok) 6 - Filter ..Gaussian blur and adjust radius to suit your taste taa raa 
Any probs PM me and I'll talk you through it...incase I missed something there

Thats doing my nut in HD is that Helenvale Street ? | ||||

I reckon the wall is the old Barrs factory. We had a big debate about this and came to the conclusion that it was Malcolm Street just off Springfield Road. I will look out the old maps etc and confirm later.
Cheers. I love the detail of the prams left against the wall to get the sun and to allow the mums to keep an eye on them. This is a little slice of Glasgow social history. |

I don't really indulge in much extreme image manipulation ... but did produce this while doing some bored tinkering a few months ago:
|

| cybers |
I think you should tinker more often...
That Chrome look is amazing. |

How the fcuk did you do that Minxy?
Oh .. sorry .. I should have complemented you first . "Well done that accomplished wee minxy Chick!!" Now ... How thye fcuk did you do that?
|
||||
| wee minx |
Thank you LG, LL and Doorstop
Oh jings...well..fcukin used photoshop for a start
Made a new layer - black and white Selected the windows gave them their own layer,and gave them a zoom motion blur, Selected the middle window and gave it a greyscale zoom blur much bigger than the other two, and changed the blending modes of each layer to soft light...ah think. 
..and gave the two wee side windows up there a bit more light on them I think I gave it a reflected black to see-through gradient just above the base layer. But mostly trial and error..with more error.
I knew what I wanted so just kept at it, and I was keen since it is a church in Govan, where I stayed as a wee girl.
