Over to you Nico … (foreword by Joanne Carter)
From the Netherlands: Onze Lieve Vrouwetoren in Amersfoort
‘I don’t know how to translate the subject into good English but essentially it is a great tower in the City of Amersfoort, the Netherlands. It could be something such as “Our dear Lady Tower”.
I want to show you a very common method I use for a lot of projects. It is a easy to use a basic setting for further editing. It consists of three main steps, using these apps:
My start is in many cases with the DynamicLight App. There are, of course, other apps which do the same thing, but I like this one for the ease of use and the great results for me. Play with the wheel in the middle for the strength you want. Also you can play with the FX button. Mostly I use the “Normal” setting. It depends of course what I want later on. Store the image.
The second step is to bring the image to the MokuHD app. I love this one very much. Play with the settings until you reach the result what you want. It gives a very painterly effect, but sometimes it is too strong for me. We fix that later one. Store the image.
The third and last step in the basic process is to use the Blender app. With this app you can “blend” two images together. Also this one is a easy to use app with a lot of possibilities. I used here the normal blend method. Store the image for further use.
This is for me a basic start for further editing with several other apps. The image is ready to go in a lot of other apps to make what you want. Let your creativity flow.
In this case I worked with this image in the PhotoCopier app to make a more subtle painterly effect. Here I used the “Vermeer” setting and played with the settings to create a effect comfortable with me.
Best greetings from the Netherlands
