5 Minute Art

[Drach]

I have the full version, but as far as I know the 2.2 is also available as free edition (with some limitations ofcourse).

[Kraellin]

ah, ok. thanks

[lkroll]

Highkey, Retinex, Impressionist (a few cleaning clicks).

[Kraellin]

lk,

nice certainly changes the depth of things.

[Swampy]

About 2 minutes... texture mapped.

Craig I didn't go monochrome on this, picked bright green and dark blue from the actual photo for the mapping. This really looks wierd, doesn't it?

[Kraellin]

dee dee,

yeah, but it's kinda cool

[cazubi]

I used the whole 5 minutes. I duplicated the image, reopened, used art history brushes using a Wow oil brush preset, layer copy, used an overlay mode ( forgot which one), flattened and saved.

Cathy

[Cupcake]

Just 5 min.
I alot of smear . Frame & texture.
Fun to do.

[Kraellin]

cathy,

i looked at yours and i thought, 'now, where have i seen that before?'. and it came to me; it reminds me of a pattern i saw in fabric once, very thick fabric, like you would use for upholstery. there's something about the texture there that does it, i think. and just in case you're wondering, i liked that fabric nicely done.

cupcake,

ok, that's cool. looks like a pinwheel in a water shower. very nice, whimsical.

[philbach]

I used Studio Artist using a weird brush.

[Kraellin]

ah, phil. glad you could join us

i'm going to have to get that program one of these days. you guys are doing some nice stuff with it.

[lkroll]

Also ported in GIMP and added Gimp's Polar Coordinates at 180 degs and mirrored with reduced opacity (erasing the white out area) and GFlare filter.

[Kraellin]

very cool, lk. i like that

[Lasa]

Alien skin plugin...
Lasa

[Kraellin]

oh, great texture there, lasa. that really looks like fabric! very nice.

[ahutton]

OK...since this filter is not useful for anything else, I used VP embroidery. I spent more time getting the resolution down than creating the piece!

Amy

[Janet Petty]

Very nice Amy. I like the stitches. What filter is that exactly?

Janet

[ahutton]

Virtual Painter Embroidery. A neat effect with no possible uses.

Amy

[Kraellin]

amy,

well, it has one use; it pleased me and janet

[MiningArt]

About three minutes. Set color profile to sRGB, Equalize histogram, enhance colors, 4 dups offset darken mode, set a focal point, paint with Impressionist, fine tune colors, add an edging.

[lkroll]

5 minute Giger

2 Minutes in DAP and a few more in GIMP.

[MiningArt]

I see dead people, LOL.

[Kraellin]

very nice, mining art

i had to study that one, lyle, but i think i like it

[lkroll]

Thanks Craig; still channeling my inner Giger. lol

[Sweetlight]

Cupcake,
Yours blows me away. I am a man of the ocean and water in general and your color usage and the overall feeling of fluidity are great. I don't know if you dive or not but there is something this image reminds me of. In the blue/green oceans of areas like the keys and such I love to slowly descend til I am just a foot or two off the bottom, find neutral buoancy and just lay there motionless. You tend to become part of the rythym of the ocean. Undulating, swaying to and fro. You basically become one with the sea. La Mar............That is how your rendetion made me feel.

[gholmes1936]

Used photoshop , duped, unsharp mask, anisotropic x 2, spiral effect, masked, touched up with black brush. Sharpened after giving it a texture. Yes, all in 5 minutes.

[Kraellin]

very cool, gunner! i like that

[Nasturtium]

This just proves my fears...edits ALWAYS take twice the allotted time...at least.

[Kraellin]

hehehe, nasturtium it's true, isnt it. the more you work on a piece, the more work you feel it needs

so, this is your chance to shed all that. take a shot

[jcalandr]

Hey All !!

Everyone has done a great job with this image.

Here is my 5 Minute attempt....

Started with simplify 2, added noise, then used the craqueluer(sp?) texture.

Y'all have a great day.

Joe
