Subject: DITI 4-12-07 with RULES!

...Rules...? Yes, RULES! Okay, I know this isn't regular for the DITI as it started out life as a way to "improve" images, but I am feeling some have been scared off of these due to lack of heavy compositing ability, and feeling that their stuff "wouldn't compare". Well, ladies and gents, this is where the playing field shall be evened out! Right here, right now, this thread ;-)

You are to take this image and apply 3 Filters.

...Huh? (you say?)
Yes, go through the Filter menu and start applying filters - just to see what they do. Apply a filter you've been curious about, then hit Ctrl+Z (PC) or Cmd+Z (Mac to undo it - then apply another one - rinse, repeat. Figure out 3 Filters to apply (or just guess, or pick 3 at random) and show the final result here. As usual, feel free to do multiples if you find you're having fun with this.

Doesn't matter if you're using Photoshop, Paint Shop Pro, or Painter (or GIMP - you get the idea) - as they all have more than 3 filters installed with their basic packages. Go nuts, have fun, use filters you had never considered just to see what they do. There is no right or wrong, there is only happy experimentation.

Just to start it off, here's one I did: Noise - 10px on Monochrome Motion Blur - 10px at 90 degrees Crosshatch - a LOT - can't remember what I did.

You don't have to put what you did, you can just upload the finished image(s), so just have fun everyone!

I don't really remember what I did exactly. The only filters I used where-_ Motion blur & a curves layer adjustment. I layered (duped) the image thrice, pulled the opacity down, set two layers to lighten mode and cropped a little on the right side (I had moved the first dupe over about 20 pixels).

Question the question. Answer the question. Question the answer...

I wish I knew what I was gonna say :oP

Hey Lew, great idea! Simply ran you photo through Neat Image 3 times in a row (with the sharpening option on).

This one I applied a very heavy unsharp mask to, then the cutout filter, then the diffused glow filter. I think some of us forget how fun and creative playing with filters can be...

liquify filter on "bloat", radial blur on zoom, then just a normal USM :)

That was fun, it almost looks like i changed something flat into something with a corner...

@ Inshaala - Is that new building up to code?!

@TwoPynts - what is "Neat Image" - I wanna get that because holy smokes that's a clean image!!

@Pushinfaders - just looked up the Xero filters - awesome link - those look like they'll be fun!

Attached Link: neat image

@ Lew. Yep, it is super clean, but I went way overboard. One pass is usually enough. You can get it for free to use on web sized images. I liked it so much I got the full version.

lew - i'd be more worried about the flat the car on the left seems to have gotten out of the process =)
