You can run the same steps on an already processed image to "reverse" the results and end up with the "original" image. It's lower quality and has a circular "frame" around it but it works.
A friend taught me this last night (we were chatting on Skype phone) and that was it - I did my first one and then 51 more before going to bed in the early hours!
I quickly discovered a preference for more abstract and assymetrical results and quickly worked out which kinds of content works best for me by working through a large number of the images I have on my hard drive!
Some people do further manipulation to the results - duplicating the layer, flipping the duplicate and then merging them together and so on but I like the basic results myself!
Would be interested to know which of my 52 people like best?
If you're a flickr member please do leave comments on my pics, if not, would be pleased if you could give feedback here - just refer to the image's title so I know which one...
Thanks! I added a bunch to flickr and added you as a contact.
I have a question, though. Mine are all coming out with a narrow line at top center. You can see it in the photos I posted earlier. Am I doing something wrong that causes that? Most I see are much more consistent all the way around.
These are great! SDW that butterfly one IS great!
I'm guessing the break is something to do with the crop selected but I haven't had it appear in any of mine so I don't know...
Thanks for adding me as a flickr contact autumncat!
