One-to-Three – 250905

This is my first contribution to XingfuMama‘s One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge. Actually, I have been doing photo manipulations for many years. Often when I have some extra time on my hands. And many times they just sit in my archive. Occasionally I publish one or two, often on different sites.

That is the case with this photo. I really took it for Monday Window and it is scheduled to run there.

My “go to” for doing B&W conversions is the Black and White Film tool in PaintShop Pro. For this is used green filtration, it gave a nice balance in my view. I also like Siver Efex and often spend a lot of time in that app.

I used the black and white version over on Composition Rules.

Had toyed with going with one or the other of these two on Silver Canvas. These are “cafe art”.

The first one here is done with Topaz Labs Simplify – one of my favorite manipulation tools.

The last one here is a combination of the above with another preset in Simplify.

Both of these also have had a good deal of hand editing.
