Before and After: Flowers in the park

Trying something different with ON1 Photo Raw 2019 by being a little creative with this shot I took while walking through the local city park.

Photo Art: Pelotonia

Once again, a little combination of photography and art using a photo I took from this year's Pelotonia 2019. First, taking a photo into Corel Painter 2020 and using the auto painting feature and using a impressionist style brush. Then, taking what was created and opening into Affinity Photo. There I blend the art and the photo together and added a texture to complete the work.

Pelotonia 2019!

Pelotonia 2019 was this past weekend in central Ohio and I got out and shot several hundreds of photos during the weekend event on Saturday. Check out my Pelotonia 2019 gallery on SmugMug! As I slowly make through all the shots, I will be adding more to the gallery.

Goodbye Photoshop, Hello Affinity Photo!!!

Well, it has been practically two months since I started using Affinity Photo as my photo edited and stopped using Adobe Photoshop. And so far, I have not missed Photoshop. actually I am loving Affinity Photo a lot. I find that it can do everything Photoshop can do and at times better and faster. Recently I opened Photoshop and realized how really slow it was at opening even on my 2013 16GB iMac. Photo on the other hand opens so fast that I get whiplash watching it open. And after two months of using Affinity Photo, I am getting familiar with it just as I did with Adobe Photoshop. Plus, with Affinity Publisher out, it works seamlessly with Publisher and Affinity Designer. And of course you can't beat the price ($50 USD).

This is the last move for me from Adobe. Earlier this year, I stopped using Adobe Lightroom and switch to ON1 Photo Raw and eventually I am think of dropping my Adobe subscription since price has gone up. As much as I loved Adobe over the years and been using Adobe Photoshop since late 1980s (I guess you can say from the beginning), things have changed with more applications to choose from. The only downside with Affinity Photo is the lack of plugins. I wish plugin makers would stop just supporting Photoshop and add support for other photo editing applications. Hopefully that will change as more people switch to Affinity Photo.

Photo Art: New Corel Painter 2020 is Out!

I updated my Corel Painter to the new Corel Painter 2020. While I am not a artist, I do like Painter's auto painting feature, BUT this time I try to do the work by my own hand. And I think I still suck at being a painter or similar. Maybe an abstract artist.
