Dynamic AutoPainter Renaissance Fair
Apr 18, 2017 17:48:13 #
The Renaissance Fair was a difficult shoot; many trees made sun blotches and shade areas on subjects. Crowded background, subject both dark and burned!! Manipulated subject with color fill and pasting [two photo clone] from different photo. Then since the photo lacked snap and ended up as a documentary like look, used Dynamic AutoPainter 4 choosing Pino shifted to surreal on sliders.

Dynamic Autopainter 5 is out and intro for 70. a Power Program indeed. Video shows the power, so far I have not mastered the skills.
Feel free to comment... not looking for "nice" "sweet" etc.

Hugely engaging image for me! The woman's posture is so eye-catching within the tight frame, and you have 3 primary bright areas: her clothing, the umbrella and the painting. So my eye wanders around those bright areas first, in a nice tight circle, and then I explore the richness of detail elsewhere.
I do love it! And I'd be super grateful if you'd post the original photo to see what you started with.

I am an artist and I LOVE what you have done with your photo. It has a Georges Seurat feeling even without the Pointillism technique. Like Linda, I also would like to see what you started with. Regardless, what you have done, it makes my eyes wander all over with intrigue and pleasure!

Fabulous treatment - my sort of image! Nicely cropped and appropriate use of bright/saturated colours.

Yes, I too liked it, but ownership of my work clouds my mind often. The SOOC, Straight Out Of Camera, Could have been taken with bracketing... I had the SX50 set up to do that, but found the world around me was moving too fast for that. Lighting was blotchie with the trees ... I did some bucket filling, even clone from one photo to another [side by side] and other works before using my DAP 4.
To get a survey of what DAP will do ... well I have never done much of the deep stuff.... see the Video and manual

Manual 62 pages as Flip Book: http://fliphtml5.com/jcbt/zjfn/basic
In the early 1960s while in grad school [chemistry] I started painting... never went to the dull parties of the Chem-Department rather went to the wild ones at the Art Department. [smile... reminisce!] So much of my work at the TBCC, Tampabay Camera Club, is art like and surreal. [also google "Deep Dreams"] https://dreamscopeapp.com/deep-dream-generator

I love your very artistic rendition of this photo. You enhanced your subject and separated her from the background! Beautiful work!

I love it - and I agree with Carol - you enhanced the woman and separated her from the background. If you hadn't told us, one wouldn't know. The colors have just the right amount of vibrance. Really good work.

Excellent PP with art work that transforms the image. I enjoyed viewing it. Thanks for posting, dpullum.

Thank you all for your comments.
Carol and Roder, separation comment, here is the process as best I recall: I first processed the whole photo, then using the DAP's Do-Not-Process mask on the art, artist upper and umbrella, and then processed again... which leaves the masked portions alone and gave the background extra surreal look. DAP is a very versatile program full of controls many of which [lazy me] I have not mastered.

I looked at the original picture as well. You have turned a picture with a cluttered distracting background into a great piece of work. The artist is now the focus point with no distractions, the colours are bright but not in your face. I do like it very much dpullam...

Thank you Nanaval, a not so good photo was rescued by DAP which is a great post software.

Dpullum, you get a gold star on your forehead for this post! You not only took a mediocre snapshot and turned it into an excellent and memorable photo all the while happily poking the sooc crowd in their narrow-minded eye, you introduced us to interesting software that I'm sure many of us weren't aware even existed. Thank you.

I've been toying with the prospect of adding DAP to my toolbox. You may have hastened the decision Don. I like what you did with it.

one additional unhappy comment, DAP is only available for Windows computers, not Macs. So Sad.
