My friend Barry will take an image, remove all color, and then create focus by coloring just an item in the shot:
See how the soccer player pops out of the image
I was playing with an image my wife took of me three years ago:
Me, grinning in the snow
Which actually provides an almost good close-up:
The raw face
While everything else looks vibrant, the face is too pale.
So I did the opposite of what Barry would do:
A black and white face
I also added some color? Perhaps, but the biggest filtering was to Oilify it:
The face has been run through the oilify filter
And finally, I got started down this path because of this tutorial: Create a statue effect using Gimp (nsfw). Trying to apply that to a ‘clothed’ figure does not seem to work:
Statue effect, can you tell?
