Ok, don't mind me today....I just got carried away playing around in Picnik! I haven't had much time to play with my camera this week so I guess I made up for it today! I took a picture out the window of the icicles hanging off the house and then went crazy with it in Picnik using the hypnotic effect! It's not meant to be a serious picture, just some fun experimentation! Hope everyone survived Christmas and is enjoying a relaxing day! I'll be getting caught up on everyone's pictures that I've missed out on this past week and getting back to commenting in the next couple days once the Christmas chaos subsides! :)
Glad you had time to play today. The effect is fun . . .reminds me of peacock feathers. I was actually looking at the icicles out side our windows this morning thinking they make a photo today. We'll see.
@barbsmith@geertje@kezzam@isisweiss@timandelke Thank you for the nice feedback! Before I started 365 I was a firm believer if the picture wasn't straight out of the camera it was cheating. Boy have I changed my thinking being here. Now I love playing around with Picnik, it's much easier to figure out than Photoshop and who cares if it's SOOC anyway! :)
@kathyd@individuality_a Thank you! :) I think Picnik is a blast to play around with.....pictures just kind of take on a life of their own sometimes! I have a lot of trouble figuring out where everything is in Photo Shop...this is more my speed! :)
@kezzam@pixelchix@gingersanders THANK YOU so much for the nice comments! Picnik is so worth the money....I had no idea you could have so much fun with that program and I'm pretty sure I've just scratched the surface of what you can really do with it.
Love this, Paula...I played around with the hypnotic effect the other day after seeing someone elses photo (can't recall who now!) So did you edit the original and then layer the original and the edited one together...still trying to figure this out ;-)
@hwy61@aprilrss@cglist Thank you for all your nice comments! Picnik is great fun to experiment with and to maintain all or part of the original image when using the Hypnotic effect you have to play with the "fade"slider. No layers involved, it just kind of merges the design with the original image depending on the amount of fading you use.
...........as well as a fav!
