Photo manipulation

This weekend I have realised that I need to get on with my homework for college next weekend. The topic for this month is image transfer and one of the first things I had to do was digital photo manipulation using computer software.
I didn't know where to start with this but luckily Hazel came to the rescue with some free internet software that you can find here.

So I started with a photo of Jonathan my eldest son and tried to get some Andy Warhol effects.
This was the best one.
Then I used a photo of one of my 1960s plates I am using for my personal theme this year.

This one is using the 'pencil sketch' effect which I think would be great to 'colour in' with machine stitching.



This effect squares the image up so you could translate it into patchwork blocks.



And this is one of those crazy effects that are great to play with but I am not sure how I would use it!

A quick glance at the software and it looks like fun. I'll bet your son is well impressed with the effect on his photo it looks very good.
