One-to-three is a monthly photo processing challenge on my other web site, theSquirrelChase.com. I’d love to have you join in: The challenge is simple: take one photo and get creative with it by processing it three different ways. Then share the results, with a link in the comments to this month’s post. I’ll do a start up post on the first of each month, including a round up of entries from the preceding month, so we can all share in the creativity and fun.

Here’s my September 2022 contribution:

How to get the looks above:

This photo is the same as the one I used in the Squirrel Chase. I used the GIMP and the G’mic plug-in for it.

The first version is the GIMP’s built-in Cartoon filter. Found in the Artistic set. Filters>Artistic>Cartoon.

In the second version I applied G’mic’s Illustration Look filter in the Artistic group.

For the third, I used another G’mic Filter, the Smooth Abstract, also in the Artistic group. I have a tutorial on using this filter on the Squirrel Chase website: G’mic Smooth Abstract Filter Demonstation.

Challenge Background

Since having to isolate due to the pandemic, last spring, I’ve been doing a lot of experimentation with photo processing and I thought it might be fun to share some of the things I’ve discovered and see what others are doing.

I’m hosting the challenge on the other site to try and keep my WordPress.org skills alive.
