July 3, 2005 — Every now and then I play around a while in Photoshop Elements, learning more of its features. It has a whole bunch of filters, and the other day I found a photo we’d taken at Media Luna, a lovely lake outside of Rio Verde in the state of San Luis Potosi. (I say ‘we” because Kelly and I shared a camera on this trip and we don’t always remember later who took some of the pictures.)
So then I began trying filters. A lot of them weren’t interesting with this rather monochrome image, but here are are few I liked. This filter is called dry brush:
And next is glass.
The next filter has the inelegant name of plastic wrap but I like how the fish become emphasized.
It’s followed by solarize, which changed the leaf colors and made the fish pale.
And the last is watercolor.
Nice to think of cool water and little fishes on a hot summer day.
