#SundayStills ~ Having Fun With Photo #Editing #DigitalArt #Photography
Terri’s theme for Sunday Stills this week is having fun with photo editing
I mostly use Fotor, there are lots of effect options with a sliding scale of intensity. This photo is Alderford lake, a water sports and aqua park, with the Monet Waterlily effect.
A blue Himalayan poppy and Penmon lighthouse off the coast of Anglesey both using the Surrealism effect.
Brinkburn Priory, a former monastery, situated by the river Coquet in Northumberland, with the Expressionism effect.
This robin was in the cherry tree just outside the window so I was close enough to get a good shot. I used the Sketch effect
This ship paid several visits to Llandudno Bay, and a view in Snowdonia, both with the Rust effect.
The ruins of Whitby Abbey as a pencil drawing. Famous for its connection to Bram Stoker, the abbey started life as a 7th century Christian Monastery and later became a Benedictine Abbey.
Cragside, a Victorian National Trust property in Northumberland was used as the location for Jurassic World: Fallen Kingdom and was the home of a Victorian inventor, Lord Armstrong.
Like the Monet water lily effect. I’ve never heard of Fotor. I use Adobe photoshop. I suppose they’re all the same. Though I haven’t used the app to its full potential, just the basics.
I love Whitby and the abbey lends itself to all sorts of artistic inspiration, digital and otherwise. I have only bee to Cragside once, but it is a fascinating place. It is such fun playing with these effects, though I haven’t had a go myself!
Yes, Whitby Abbey and Whitby itself are very photogenic. I’ve only been to Cragside once too, it was very impressive. I did have fun with these images.
Your edits are really amazing, Cathy, and I LOVE Cragside’s effect! The Painnt App has a filter that produces a similar, dreamy effect. Well done on these and thanks for sharing your go-to editor. I’ll have to look into Fotor!
Such a beautiful blue on the Himalayan poppy. Most of the effects are quite subtle and all the better for it. That little robin is so perky! It always amazes me how robins manage on such thin little legs. They’re so tiny and hold up such a fluffy little body.
Yes, I like that they can be subtle or a little more vibrant. There’s quite a range. It’s a wonder to me too how little birds manage on their legs, they don’t look strong enough to support them at all.
Your edits are so fun and enchanting. I love the etched bird. That’s so sweet. I’ve always been drawn to watercolors so all of your edits are eye-catching. When playing with filters starting off with spectacular photos is important, your gift of composition leads to attractive results either way! Well done!

There is a yearly subscription but it’s worth it. There’s also a dearer one for pro+ but I’m happy sticking with pro at the moment. There is also an app but I don’t find that as user friendly…that could just be me though.
I couldn’t choose a favourite out of all of these different effects, Cathy. They are all so different, and great subjects you have chosen to edit.

Thanks, Suzanne. I can only use the basics on Photoshop too, I don’t really know how to use it properly.

Getting too involved in it, I think, takes the fun out of photography 😊

I can’t seem to find Fotor, can you share a link? Is it on mobile, desktop, maybe not for apple? I see some, but they all say AI with it.
