From my trip to NYC the other day. We were walking over to Discovery Times Square when I noticed this unique endpost on an old Brownstone. I used the adjustable threshold setting in Picnik to highlight some of his features and bring out the color in the cement.
Wow and this is on post? very unusual piece.
An to come back to picnik I only need to siged in when I want to use my premium accout. tried to do something different with the frame when i had to get into premium but like I said I couldn't get in today.
@bruni Thanks Bruni- that's really curious. I have a premium account too- but I never have to sign in. There must be a way to tell your computer to remember the sign-in info so that you don't have to do it every time. I think that's what I did. Hope it starts to work for you again soon!
@kerristephens Thanks Kerri! @bruni Thanks Bruni- yup- at the end of a hand railing on someone's front steps! @karenann Thanks Karenann- that's for sure! @mrssmith Thanks Carla- the processing actually brought the texture out more and I was very pleased with that. @digitalrn Thanks Rick- yes in the original, it was somewhat washed out, but this effect put some of the highlights and shadows back into it. The little tint of color was an extra bonus.
@httpgeffed Thanks Colleen- in this case it was just right! @photobutton Thanks Photobutton- it sort of reminds me of some of the gargoyles you've shot.
@daveanajao Thank you Dave! @alia_801 Thanks Alia! @sarasdadandmom Thanks Terry! @geertje Thanks Geertje! @lisjam1 Thanks Lisabell!
There are definitely a lot of interesting architectural finds in NYC! The trick is noticing them!!
@allie912 Thanks Allison. The Adjustable Threshold setting is in the part called Sandbox Effects (or tools I think). Once in that setting you can apply it on different levels from the pull-down menu. It's automatically set on Normal- but are different applications such as light, overlay, multiply, darken and others. I think I used the darken setting on this one. I keep telling myself I should write these down when I do it, but I always think "Oh, I'll remember that!" And then, of course, I don't!
Thanks for the info! What a wonderful endpost and beautifully processed. It's a pity that such workmanship no longer exists. It's great that you recorded this for posterity!
