Friday Feathers - Using Filters
I typically don't tweak photos I've taken unless the image needs a bit of fine tuning via Photoshop's brightness/contrast or the Curves tool. I never used the filters in Photoshop and one day decided to test each one using this photograph of a Blue Heron.
Though the Heron is frozen mid-flight (yay!) the focus is off and the quality of the image a bit muddy. After applying a number of different filters to the image, I then tried the Artistic/Poster Edges filter. I really liked the effect this particular filter had on the image; it made muddy areas a bit sharper and converted the image into one that looks like it was hand-painted.
I liked the effect of this particular filter so much that I tested on my entire folder of Heron photographs and plan to have one of the photos enlarged and printed for framing. :-)
