Chipping Sparrow (Graphic Novel filter layered with Dry Brush filter)

Scarlet Tanager (Redo with Graphic Novel filter)

I had earlier processed this image with the Dry Brush filter on Photoshop Elements. I took the Dry Brush image and Graphic Novel filtered it. Originalish image is first, Graphic Novel second, and colorized Graphic Novel third. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Goose (Graphic Novel filter)

From yesterday's post, this is the goose from duck, duck. (This feels like a repost?) Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

More Graphic Novel Ducks in the Grass

Flicker Looking at Grass (Graphic Novel filter)

Goldfinch in Tree Branches with Leaves (Graphic Novel filter)

This is an image redo post, in that the last time that I had posted this image, I had processed it with a dry brush filter. This time, I used the Graphic Novel filter (twice), and then I colorized the image. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Red Finch (House Finch? Purple Finch?) Graphic Novel filter

Male Cardinal (Graphic Novel filter)

I like what the Graphic Novel filter was able to do with this image. The third image below was the one I originally posted a few years ago, processing the image with the Dry Brush filter from Photoshop Elements. The Graphic Novel filter added some definition to an otherwise... undefined image. 

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Blue Jay with Colorful Foliage in the Background (Graphic Novel filter)

I really liked this blue jay image from a couple of years ago and decided to give it a try in the Graphic Novel filter. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

"Red" Finch (Graphic Novel filter)

Once again, I like what the Graphic Novel filter does with smaller images. This red-colored finch was a little bit blurry sitting in the blurry branches (notice the theme, here). I tried to doctor this image up before, using the Dry Brush filter. I like how it turned out using the Graphic Novel filter. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Graphic Novel Chickadee on the Deck

Here is another image redo. I took the Photomatix image that I made previously and applied the Graphic Novel filter from Photoshop Elements. I especially like how the black and white version turned out.

Pink(ish) Flower among Green Leafy Plants (Graphic Novel filter)

This is another Graphic Novel redo of an image that I processed a while ago. I made three "exposures" in the Graphic Novel filter, layered them together, and then, I layered in the color. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Lightposts at the Mall (Graphic Novel filter)

Here is the old image that I processed several years ago using Photomatix.

I took the image and created three "exposures" in the Graphic Novel filter, which I then layered together for the following image. I like the uniform, straight lines in the ceiling, as well as the far less uniform lines in the rocks.

Usually, I layer the HDR image back into the Graphic Novel image. This time, I used the original (non-HDR) image and layered it into the Graphic Novel image.

Big Rock, Trees, and River (Graphic Novel filter)

I really liked this picture from a number of years ago. I like the odd shape of the trees and how they are growing. I like the rocks. What I don't so much like is what I see when I look at the image up close and see purple fringing where the image has white light spots. 

So, I made a graphic novel filter version of the image in black and white. I didn't colorize it, because the purple would still be there. But I like looking at this one up close, for all of the lines in the trees, the rocks, the branches, the roots, etc.

Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Look and Find in the Rocks

This picture reminds me of one of those "Look and Find" pictures: Find the fossil, find the fern, find the leaf, etc. This is a redo of a picture from 2014, here redone with the Graphic Novel filter. Thanks for stopping by and looking at my pictures! :)

Graphic Novelization of a Favorite Tree Photo

Here's an old favorite photo (from four years ago) that I processed with Photomatix. I kept this one as my desktop background picture for a while. 

The image had all of the workings for what goes in to a great graphic novel filter image: Wood grain, tree branches, winding roots, grass. I made four different light levels of Graphic Novel filter images and layered them all together in Photoshop Elements:

Finally, I added the color back into the graphic novel image. It's interesting to compare the original HDR above with the colorized graphic novel below. I think the lines in the graphic novel image help to give better definition to the image.
