Week 9 part 2

Ok so maybe I am getting carried away. I am just playing more with the filters and what not in Gimp and wanted to show you all some more ideas of things I have done! :)

This is the original

then I played with the lighting effects filter and it brightened the sky to look like the sun was captured more than it originally had.

for this 3rd image I enhance the contrast a bit and burned the sky to make it brighter (as you can tell I actually cut off some the detail on the trees..ooops...lol.. I wanted to color the sky to make it appear more vivid yet had trouble figuring that part out on how to add colors. :) I will figure it out eventually..lol! Lastly in this image I played with the render filter and then chose the nature filter and then the flame filter to make it look as if maybe it was an older, bit damaged photo.

this photo I played with the weave filter and found I actually liked its after product! looks pretty cool to me! :)

 

My last edit was to make the image look as if it were old and so I played with the old filter and this is the outcome.. pretty cool as well! 

I am trying very hard to learn the new things on GIMP and I am beginning to fall in love with all that it has to offer.. I am pretty partial to Picasa as I have been using it for SO long.. I just may have found a new program to work with!!! Thanks! :)
