Fun with Photo Programs

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Do you ever play with your photos. I love my photo programs, learning what all the effects and techniques actually look like. So, let's show everyone what we do.

The newest Spaghetti Western poster.......Spaghetti Cowgirl...starring Tornado Alli.

I took a very dark picture and played with it until it became...Fannie on Night Patrol.

Antiqued Belles

The Electric Belles at Fannie's Bottoms Up Dance Hall and Saloon

2 Neon Belles

One Helluva silhouette

[Black Jack McGinnis]

The night patrol pic :) kinda looks like one of those pics you see on those ghost hunter shows. You know, the ones that show up in the picture but can't be seen with the naked eye. Especially since you can't see the facial features!

[Wallaby Jack]

Ya know........, I thimk I mighta picked that silhouette pitcher as Miss Alli even iff'n I din't already know it were her..... :D


:kiss

[Tornado Alli]

Tell me, Wallaby, what would make you think that was me? Seriously, what gives it away?

(Curious as to which feature says it's me)

(Well, besides the fact that is my avatar! :re )

The hour glass..........Buck :cgun :re

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Now this will make you dizzy! :goofy

[Iron Ed]

Good fun Mz Kikinshoot!
I liked the 'Antiqued Bellles' best overall, but think the "One Helluva silhouette" was VERY aptly titled! ;-)
Were the first pics deliberately that dark? Or are other folks seeing them much lighter?

This link points to one that's been on my website a while:

The pic isn't actually doctored, but I think the 'wanted' poster setting kinda fits the spirit of your post. :-)

[Hugh Damwright]

OUCH !!! IT Hurts !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :cry





hehe, cool pics Fannie! :)

[Lady LaSalle]

Hey that is neat! Cool photo effects!

[Iron Ed]

Okay.. Here are a couple of pics I 'tinkered' with just a mite so I could see them better... ;-)

Oh.. Howcumizzit when anyone else posts pics here the actuall pic shows up in the forum, but when I do it only a link shows up? (...and which way is preferred?)

If you post one, it'll come up. But if ya post two er more, only links come up.

[Four-Eyed Buck]

Also, after you up pick a photo you have to open, then upload. Size counts, it'll link after size excedes.........Buck :cgun

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Yes, those pictures are dark. The original picture was almost nondistinguishable. That's what made it so fun to play with.

[Wallaby Jack]

Dear Miss Alli (Your Majesty),
It were your dazzeling SMILE !!!!.........


I can't rightly tell.... sorta "hey!, that looks like...." recognition type of thing.


Also coulda be'd that I saw the "bigger pitcher" too ;)


.......... but I bet that think of you next time I see anything similar in the future.... :)


Respectfully ... :fm

[Nellie's Mom]

Fannie, what program are you using to get these effects? Looks like fun. Nellie's Mom :re

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

I did all of these "improvements" with Microsoft Digital Imaging.

[Nellie's Mom]

Thanks a bunch, Fannie. :ss We take a lot of pictures. Just ask Nellie. Nellie's Mom

Hi Iron Ed

I had just got my new Nikon D70s (and haven't taken Black Jack classes yet) and I was shooting away like I had a point and shoot or someting standing out in the sun while the ladies were in the shade. So all of those pictures were really dark. The spahgetti western was just lightening and playing with the color, same with the vintage looking one.

[Nevada Skye]

Hi Nellie's Mom: I have the "Photo Suite" program, and it will do all that fun stuff too. I think the "Print Shop" soft ware has this funn stuff also. Skye
:ss

[Merja]

Oh my, Alli! You look gorgeous on those pictures!!! :bow

[Shyanne]

Here's a link to mine (did not want to take up space here), scroll down to the bottom of the page, one is 'before' the other is 'after''. I wanted a good photo of hubby and myself for our website and the 'before' was the best I could find.

Shyanne & Rattlesnake (http://shyanne-design.cas-town.com/basics.html)

[Iron Ed]

Here's a link to mine ...Shyanne & Rattlesnake

Dog-gone Shyanne.. That's really good!

Here's one of mine that I'd forgotten about (even though it's on my own website!) :-) Unfortunately I no longer have the original scanned in.
Anyway..
I adjusted the brightness/contrast and deleted a gravel driveway about halfway up and a white concrete sidewalk under my feet. The sidewalk is the most obvious as I couldn't get the grass quite right around my boots.

[Lady LaSalle]

Deacon Will just sent me these photos this morning. They are kinda cool!

[Lady LaSalle]

Here's another one!

Especially the one behind bars! Any idea how that effect was achieved??

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Ever wonder what you'd look like "photocopied"?

[Kitty Phann]

LL, those are great photos. I really like the jail one.

[Iron Ed]

Ever wonder what you'd look like "photocopied"?
That's good, Fannie! Almost looks like an old woodcut.

[Lady LaSalle]

Dawg was in the jail! LOL!!! That was one of the props at the state shoot!

[Allie Mo]

Hi LL,

Love the photo of you folks with the jail!

I don't remember hearing about the Delaware Diamonds. Can you name them and tell us your story?

Regards,

Allie Mo

[Lady LaSalle]

Yup! They are Lady LaSalle, Delaware's Delight, Quickdraw Pinkerton, Wyoming School Marm, South Paw Sadie, Santa Fe Sue, Hazel Pepper, and Sweet Tart. Haven't quite worked up our "story" as yet, but in real life we all met as a result of CAS and have become quick and fast friends. The 3 original Diamonds are Quickdraw Pinkerton, Santa Fe Sue, and myself. Then we were joined by Wyoming School Marm, Hazel Pepper, and Sweet Tart. We added South Paw Sadie and my own Delaware's Delight this year. We basically are the "fashion police" that keep things interesting at PIP! :ruff

[Allie Mo]

Hi LL,

Thanks! Y'all look great. I'm sure the story will be a good one.

Regards,

Allie Mo

[Garnet Rose]

Especially the one behind bars! Any idea how that effect was achieved??Iron Ed, if you're referring to the darker outlines around the people in the photo, it's a special effects setting within some photo editing software. I think it may be called "comic book" in one of the programs.

[Allie Mo]

Oooh lookie, I did it too. I haven't got a good cartoon yet. I think my Adobe Photoshop calls it Posterize.

This is "Glowing Edges."

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Mo, that is how I did the "Neon Belles" picture.

[Nellie Blue]

That's too cool!

[Allie Mo]

Now I've got my own welcome to the party cartoon.

[Duzy Wales]

Is this what you were looking for? Duzy :dc

[Shotzee LaRouge]

Duzy -- thank you for surfacing that!
'preciate it.

[Duzy Wales]

Happy to be able to help! Hope it works for you! :)

[smokingbarrels]

fannie - alli just looks awesome - my heart is a flutter

[Fannie Kikinshoot]

Yes, Alli looks fabulous...she always does. The other 3 Belles look pretty darn good too, if I do say so myself.

[Manon Antoinette]

Photoshop, mode Grayscale & back to mode RGB, photo filter Sepia and filter Dust & Scratches, filter Film Grain. Use the Exposure filter for adjusting the photo.

Et voila:

Beautiful photo effects, all! Manon, that second one would make a right handsome notecard!

[Nellie Blue]

Hugh, what program is that again? That's too cool! :tban :tban :tban

[Hugh Damwright]

That one was adobe photoshop 6.0. Had it for quite a while but hardly used it. Not very good with it, just play once in a blue moon. :)
