Fun with Photoshop: Skulls

Art, Photography, Photos, Pictures, United States, Words 1 Minute

Today’s subject is a foam skull I purchased the last time the Georgia Shakespeare Festival performed Hamlet. I photographed it on my dining table, using just the overhead lights and natural lighting from the window. The tabletop has an interesting design that provided a nice backdrop. I edited it with some filters in Photoshop Express.

 

The original image, cropped.

 

Processed with the Reverse (Negative) filter.

 

Once I had the negative image, I ran it through some other filters.

 

Negative, processed with the Silvered filter.

 

Negative, with the Dappled filter.

 

Negative, with the Dream filter.

 

Negative, with the Glow filter.

 

Then I took the Glow image and processed with some further filters.

 

Negative, Glow, with the Haze filter.

 

Negative, Glow, with the Superpunch filter.

 

Negative, Glow, with the Contrastpunch filter,

 

Amazing what a little photo processing can do.
