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 October 2022 contribution:

I played around with the G’mic plug-in for the GIMP to get the effects above. All of these filters are in the Artistic group within G’mic. Also, I added a vignette to all but the original.

I think the smooth abstract is my favorite. If you want to try out that filter check out this post: G’mic Smooth Abstract Filter Demo.

But wait…there’s more

Before I caught the great blue heron in flight that I used on the Squirrel Chase, I had planned to use this same photo with the above versions on the Squirrel Chase site and Topaz Studio 2 treatments below on this one.

I’m linking this also to Cee’s Flower of the Day and the Weekend Prompt: Purplish.

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.
