...from the book, "How to Train Your Human."
====================================
I've been slowly getting acquainted with Photoshop. There's so many things to learn and it's a bit overwhelming so I went and got some actions to play with. It's been really helpful in learning how layers work and I really like how you can turn the layers on and off.
For the main photo, I'm not really sure what kind of look I was going for but I kind of like the result. Maybe too overprocessed? I don't know. It's different though. I was just adding actions, turning them on and off, and adjusting opacities of layers. Other than that, I don't even remember which actions I used.
One of the things I had a problem with was the upper left hand corner. Part of the couch snuck in there and I didn't know how to get rid of it so I just kind of worked around it. I guess I could have cropped it out, but I liked the framing the way it was and didn't want to change it. Don't you hate when that happens?
Other edits I did are in the comments. Which edit do you like or not like? And why? Be honest! You can also say you don't like any of them...really. Seriously, I won't ban you. :)
Lichens gleefully overprocessed for dramatic colors. For reality from the same rock, see the adjacent "Lichen Portrait" on my page. Happy Sliders Sunday!
Each time I do HDR, I become careful to not overprocess. But this one with surreal effects just seemed so nice - or at least I liked it.

US Airways Airbus A320 inbound to Chicago's O'hare International Airport on runway 14R. Overprocessed HDR image, but I kinda like the outcome. Jet was nearly vertical above my head when I shot this.
Unfortunate mistake. Farmers' Market Ogden Utah Aug 27, 2022. I shot thison a great day - Kodacolor 400 from 1983. I shot it at EI 200 and then, mistakenly, thought I should adjust again in development and added 20 seconds ... ? The roll was extremely overdeveloped which was extremely disappointing because of the great shots. The negatives were impenetrable. Since I did bleach bypass I went back and washed the film, bleached with potassium ferricyanide for 8 minutes and then fixed again for 8 minutes. The negative came out much clearer, but as you can see with MUCH loss of detail and extremely flat. If my life was at stake, I guess we could say it worked, but most of the interesting stuff is gone.
However after seeing these results and some others, both mine and other folks' I think I'm arriving at with expired color film - adjust the light and compensate for age, etc. And then develop normally. We'll see what I do next.
...to the Magic Kingdom.
Last night, I sat down and processed enough images to last me until our December trip. My goal was to experiment with processing methods I hadn't tried before, and push my skills. Push the boundaries, I did. This is overprocessed, I know (and noisy...geez, didn't notice that it was that bad on my laptop, but it looks bad at work...might have to edit and re-upload this one), but I like the end result.
posted for Me Again Monday's theme of 'New' - whilst the subject matter is not new (lol) I've decided to do something new for me; a full, in your face, self portrait! :)
I decided to process this to exaggerate any features rather than smooth them out! :))))

Autumn colour in Knole Park, Sevenoaks, shot on a dull Friday afternoon.
With poor light quality the original image lacked impact so I tried to lift it through processing with Nik's Color Efex Pro 4. High-Key and Glamour-Glow filters provide the main effects.
Overprocessed? Maybe. Interesting? Yes. Certainly an improvement on the original image.
Critical appraisal welcome.
Another "always have a camera" story! I went to meet a buddy who was mowing a business lot in the seedier part of town. This old firetruck was parked on the property and I had a blast with the HDR. May be a bit overprocessed but hey! It's a Firetruck!
A bit late with my fence today so grabbed an oldie and got it slightly overprocessed so lit ooks a bit washed out, like my memories of warmer, sunier days ;-) But the yellow flower shoud brighten up your day, especially if a dull, rainy one like here!
HHF and ave a lovely weekend!
An image inspired by one of my favourite childhood stories, a fairy tale "Suma Striborova" (Stribor's Forest) by Croatian writer Ivana Brlić-Mažuranić.
Also, hopefully, first in the series of pictures I would like to do inspired by Slavonic mythology and fairy tales. There's bound to be some cross-over with my 52, because if you can turn yourself into a fairy, why would you want to be anything else? ;)
Definitely worth seeing large for detail if you like the thumbnail.
This one is for all of you.. Since all of you liked it...
Ner_Luv sir was kind enough to have faved it earlier at my outtakes account.
So a song for all of you,
Explored !!!
I just ran across this shot I took in 2005. I'm sure I didn't upload it because I felt it was too overprocessed. I still kinda feel that way and would probably bring down the saturation were I to work on it again today.
It's always interesting to look back every once in a while....
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines.
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be:
It's only finger-lengths that I see.
I touch the place where I'd find your face,
My finger in creases of distant dark places ...
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground.
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms.
Day 97 - September 3rd, 2009.
Set Fire to the Third Bar by Snow Patrol (featuring Martha Wainwright.)
Snow Patrol is such a depressive and moody band but I must admit that I am a big fan.
It's funny how some songs can take you back to specific moments and spans of time every single time you hear them. It's memories -- feelings and sights, sounds, even smells, so damn vivid it's like you're there again.
This song is one of those songs for me.
(I feel like I'm sitting in Spain again.)
So I skipped ahead to find out what the next few days of songs will be.
Ideally, I need a kid for some of the songs. But I definitely need some sort of boy, which could present a problem.
I mean, how the heck am I supposed to do Jack and Diane without a Jack?! Umm yeah ...
-- Many thanks to Jasperdo for letting me use this beautiful map for this.
(I'm so sorry because I feel like I am overprocessing everything to crap lately.)
One more test of the Topaz AI tools, this time with the superb C905, whose 8Mp camera is probably the best I've had, even after all smart(er) generations.
Same workflow as in previous examples, final enlargement to 32 Mp (not a huge jump starting form 8). Some overprocessing was done to prove the TIFF withstands abuse without degradation, otherwise the original is better and I wouldn't do this to it :)
A little more overprocessed than I would have liked, but this is closer to the effect I wanted in this image.
One of the last pics I took with a compact before finally investing in a DSLR.
The pic is "a bit" overprocessed due to being really dark and dull to begin with.
The Lyngen Alps supply the background mountains...ski tour mecca!
This shot is likely overdone and overprocessed. I wanted to see how the images from the Canon G11 behaved when I played with them in Google's Nik Collection and Lightroom.
163/365
Ohhh 365 how you ridicule me, you threw me so many curveballs today. You forced me to take an average image and process it beyond all recognition. ..... I woke up and started my car to warm it up for evie, no rain or snow, by the time i bring her out it is snowing, by the time i get to work it is really snowing. 10 am and there is an inch of snow with big huge flakes still falling, At this point I am all excited, I have my location and shot in mind, I even have the commentary in mind. Lunch time comes and I drive to my location, WHAT!!!!! along the way the snow becomes rain, and then the snow disappears, shot didn't work, ok, drive to location number two, still raining, blah day, can't find any creativity, take a couple of random shots with the camera in the only dry spot, under a pavilion and go back to work. so here is todays shot, just me standing next to a tree, processed to the max. oh well, tomorrow is another day
I miss green. California's been pretty brown.
Hope your week started right. Mine did—my new site is very nearly live! I just have a few more CSS and javascript tweaks, and we're aces. Didn't see a whole lot of weekend, mind you.
davidteter lol, come on dave! get real now! this pic is just one automatically uploaded pic from the instagram app. even the tags show it!
I got loads more you can see!
I got 33k in public view! just go to flickrock.com/gregouras and you ll see many nice pics from me in a very nice slideshow!
btw, who is this mysterious friend you do not even mention?
did you mistake SPAM for a negative comment? (I almost never leave negative comments, unless the pictures are totaly badly overprocessed junk like some in your profile despite the general good quality you try to keep there. Of course, I keep in mind that this might be the camera that does the bad processing and you can do nothing about it.)
I will leave this msg to your profile too so I can be sure that you ll see it!
Cheers, Greg
She agreed to pose for a picture and I kind of blew it. I took this in Ethiopia at one of the community clinics. Thanks to a bad light and no time to try for a better setup or do more outtakes, I ended up with less than perfect portrait. The focus is slightly off and it is not something that could be fixed by processing. Sorry for versions overload, but in addition to the original, I uploaded the color version and regular black & white version, so you can see that I tried. However, this very grainy and contrasty black & white hides focus imperfections best. I am not even sure I like it, but it is Sliders Sunday and overprocessed images rule! HSS, everyone!
I've been experiomenting with different moods via photoshop, you can see this with my latest vermont trip I was trying to capture that fall look. Please let me know if you think im overdoing it, the last thing I want is tacky overprocessed images.
Thanks
Pink paeony ICM. No, really. It is (where’s your imagination?) ;)
Well, what do you do when you have loads of these wobbly camera shots? Come to that, what do you do for Sliders Sunday?
I was going to do you a painterly tractor, but it was rather a good tractor (though I say it myself) and I didn’t want to rush it. Also, I feel a bit guilty sometimes posting a painterly rendition to Sliders Sunday because the group is intended to be about overprocessing.
So I was ambling through the back catalogue and found this ICM taken in June which is part of a big collection of failures and not so failures. They’re all so abstract that I hesitate to publish some of them, even in the better ones.
But what happens if you Sliders them? Quite a lot it seems. There were some very interesting results from this one because of the strong sense of movement and depth (it’s a twist ICM of the centre of the flower).
Herewith four variants. The first is a Color Efex smash-up with solarisation and bicolour filters (etc…). The rest are Topaz Studio versions. I avoided painterly versions though there were some good possibilities there too. I like the monochrome version (which I’ll post for my 100x on Motion, as well as the fiery furnace. What about you?
I’ll post a link to the in-camera version so you can admire my dirty sensor. (I have cleaned it now ;) ).
Thank you for taking the time to look. I hope you enjoy the image. Happy Sliders Sunday and 100x :)
I know it is a bit overprocessed, but in the train back from Paris to Heidelberg I was testing some nice iPhone Apps. This was shot and processed completely on iPhone 5.
A high cutback at sunset. HDR from 7 exposures generated in Lightroom and tonemapped in photomatix with final editing in Photoshop. I also used Nik color EFx on this. I guess this one close to being overprocessed!
SLIDER SATURDAY 6/52
There are times that I find extensive post processing evokes a very different feel or mood from an image and sometimes I like the result.
Being more of a purist with photography, I seldom post these overprocessed images but I decided for 2012, I would post those images on what I have termed "Slider Saturday". These will be images that I have extensively moved the sliders in post processing.

Er, yeah. Not sure what to say about this really. A snack themed self portrait that came out a bit strange.
...... your wings sparkle bright wonders that heal broken worlds.

Still life study of a fresh from the garden tomato.
Original was first processed in the iPhone App PRISMA then some further "Slidding" in Snapseed to do a little cleaning up.
Used PRISMA - Style: Curtain filter - all in the iPhone. First for a Painterly effect - then slide for HSS.
For - Happy Slider Sunday - HSS!
An attempt at over-processing a picture - on purpose.

Over processed? Well, yes, but I kinda like it nonetheless. ;-)
I saw this cloud while on the train, with about a minute and a half till we pulled out. I dashed out onto the platform, snapped (yay for hyperfocal settings) and ducked back in. And off we went.
Who doesn't love waking up and looking our their door and seeing a hunky lumberjack in a tree on their lawn? Who doesn't love The Lumberjack Song by Monty Python? Who doesn't love joining new Flickr groups? Who doesn't love overprocessing photos with Ribbet's Focal Zoom effect to hide the fact that you are out of focus?

I'm a lumberjack and I'm OK
I sleep all night and I work all day
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I eat my lunch
I go to the lavatory
On Wednesdays I go shopping
And have buttered scones for tea
He cuts down trees, eats his lunch
He goes to the lavatory
On Wednesdays he goes shopping
And has buttered scones for tea
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I skip and jump
I like to press wild flowers
I put on women's clothing
And hang around in bars
He cuts down trees, he skips and jumps
He likes to press wild flowers
He puts on women's clothing
And hangs around in bars...?
He's a lumberjack and he's OK
He sleeps all night and works all day
I cut down trees, I wear high heels
Suspenders and a bra
I wish I were a girlie
Just like my dear papa
He cuts down trees, he wears high heels
Suspenders and a bra?!?

Reference Slider Saturday 4/52 for a better understanding of this image.
I took this on our photo walk this past Sunday. I really liked this shot except that the focus was off. I don't know what it is, but there's something about it that really pulled me in so I played with post-processing in Lightroom and came up with this. I still liked it, so I thought I would share.
It's really much, much better in Lightbox, so please either click or press L. Thanks for looking!
