Altered images


These lovely photographs were both taken locally.  I experimented with altering them using Photoshop to create the very different 'abstracted' versions on the right of each.  I'm still very much a novice but it's interesting to see what effects can be achieved, and the possibilities for creating unusual transfers for use in textile work.

To achieve these effects I first used the polar co-ordinates function to distort the structure of the photo (Filter - Distort - Polar Co-ordinates) and then inverted the colours (Layer - New Adjustment Layer - Invert).  I think I may also have used another function to drag parts of the image around, but can't recall what it was. Will update this post if I remember.
