In trying to decide on a blog topic for the week, I thought I might introduce you to some filters in Photoshop. If you haven't used Photoshop filters yet, you will be surprised at the number of filters available. The filters are organized topically - Artistic, Brush Strokes, Distort, Sketch, and Stylize. To show you some of the possibilities, I took one of the pictures from my recent Colonial Williamsburg trip - the kitchen in Rockefeller's home - and applied different filters. Below, I have posted the original photo and then the ones with the filters indicated. What do you think? Are filters something you think you will be able to use in your work this semester? How might you use filters to convey a specific message?
This is the original photo.
This version is using Brushstrokes: Accented Edges.
This version is using Artistic: Fresco.
This version is using Stylize: Glowing Edges.
This version is using Sketch: Chalk and Charcoal.
