These two B/W images were solarized and colored per Picasa to change them from realistic to abstract. I tinkered with solarization periodically over the years. My most successful creations used a regular photo image on print paper which was solarized in the developer bath near the end of the print's development, after which it was fixed. I often produced an interesting silvery sheen that these digital images lack. If anyone is interested, I'll be glad to post the unretouched images here.

Good job RichardQ. I really like the last one.

Monday - off and running. N'oreaster due Wednesday into Thursday. Winter won't let go. PLayed with some smoke again and was thinking about something Simon said in FS - stack 'em, flip 'em etc (and he wasn't talking pancakes). So that's it for this morning.

3 of same smoke image, combined original, one flipped as a mirror and one flipped vertically and then colorized everything

Turned into gold (I wish!)

Sent another image to Lunapic and used a "pencil" filter

Very nice.

Tried that many years ago without much success.

It's not much, but it's a start. I've had Microsoft Publisher for years. Until just recently, never thought about applying text to my photos using Publisher. However, I find it's much easier than using PS Elements 2013. Anybody else use Microsoft Publisher for editing text in photos?

Gotta start somewhere. Never thought about MS pub.

Very nice Pat. I've been trying to do that with the beer glass. No go. Have to figure out how.

Hope you weren't driving & photoing. But, I don't think that's against the law. Only texting.

Thanks Sunny! It does take time and several steps to create...Frankly, I prefer straight out of the box except for minor adjustments....Every once in a while I like to play or tinker when time

allows...
