Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge: Smiles
XingfuMama’s: One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge
A bit of a double dip. At the moment the rain has bought the frogs out. The rain makes Australian Green Tree Frogs happy. I use Corel PaintShop Pro Ultimate 2023
The original photo

Straight forward convert to black and white with enhanced shadow contrast

Fun with Kaleidoscope
- adjusted horizontal to -20
- the vertical to -20
- only two petals selected
- set to reflect

This last one I used a preset called Depth by Design. The three slide controls go from 0 to 100%. The first one is to select how much of the preset you wish to use. For this photo –
- I set it at 55%
- Colour Match – 99%
- Smooth the photo – 33%


What a cutie! I like the black and white. It seems to bring out the details.

These edits are amazing, Brian! I’m so happy to see that Corel PaintShop Pro is still going and is still so impressive.

Thanks Susan. I used Corel Draw at work so getting PaintShop Pro made it easy at home. They have done lots of improvements since way back then.

I last used it about 10 year ago (same with Draw) and it was amazing back then.

Your frogs are such good subjects. I like the original best though the third is a very interesting effect.
