The challenge is simple: take one photo and get creative with it by processing it three different ways. 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.

To join in create a pingback or write a comment below that includes the URL to your post.

I started this challenge on my other web site, theSquirrelChase.com. I am moving it over here because I couldn’t get ping backs to work on that site. I haven’t had that problem on this site, so I decided not to fight it any more….

Murphy never rests. Now it seems that pingbacks are being hit or miss here. If yours doesn’t work you can put your link into a comment and/or use the tag tsc_1to3.

Here’s my May 2023 contribution:

The original photo is in the first frame. The first variation uses the NIK Silver Effects plug-in for the GIMP (very old version). This is called the Antique Plate preset.

For the second, I used the G’MIC plug in for the GIMP. This filter is called “Aurora”, I used the average blend method. I also gave it a light vignette.

For the last one I used the AI Remix filter, with the Well Worn Path option at low strength.

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.
