About the Image(s)
This transformation was done completely in LR. I begin with the tone curves, go down to the effects slider, and then any slider. When I come upon something interesting, I make a virtual copy & then go on. At the end, I take it to PS to "freeze" it. In this one, the very center was done after I got it back from PS. My wife thinks it interesting, but too flat., What do you think?

HI Doug,
Hard to believe your original could turn into something like this, I still don't understand how you do that.
The colors are really vibrant; however I must say that I'm not crazy about abstracts and this doesn't look like a photograph to me. What I DO like is your OTHER creation, because it looks like the sun or another star of heavenly body that has become a Super Nova. That one, I like. Nicely done !
Happy Holidays !

It is astounding that your brightly coloured image is created from the original you show. This is an interesting abstraction but like Donna, I prefer your Original 2 for the colours and the shape I think. With regards to being flat, yes it is a little and some of the colour has paled. That might be what you were aiming for and my comments are purely subjective. Keep playing. It will be interesting to see your next creations.   Posted: 12/15/2024 06:41:15

Hi, Rich, he explains in his description what he does with the image. I'll have to try it some time !
