Going on a Picnik

October 25, 2010 By Carole

I don’t do much with photo processing. I use the software that came with the camera to adjust things and convert my images from RAW to JPEGs. I use Photoshop to resize and occasionally do some post processing but that’s about it. But the other day I took a photo of foliage at our town graveyard and I thought this photo could use some fun processing.  Enter Picnik.

Graveyard 3

Here’s the original photo.

Graveyard 3 with Halloween Texture

And here’s the photo with a Halloween texture.

Graveyard 3 with Ghosts

Here it is again with some ghosts added for eerieness.

Graveyard 3 Lomo-Ish

I like it with what they call a Lomo-ish effect.

Graveyard 3 Gritty

And it’s pretty cool with the Gritty effect.

Graveyard 3 Orton-ish

Here is it with the Orton-ish effect.

Graveyard 3 Cross Process

And probably my most favorite of all, the Cross Process effect.

I definitely had fun with this and I think some of those processes really enhance the photo for the better. Which one is your favorite?

    Those are very cool! I think I like the Lomo-ish one the best but they are all very neat.

    I like the ortonish effect. It seems to deepen the colors.

    I love the ghosty one, but I prefer the brightness of color in the Lomo-ish one. The Orton-ish one seems blurry to me- said from one who’s waiting for her new glasses – so it could just be me.

    That is so cool! I love the addition of the ghosts. Very Halloween! I find it amazing what you can do with a good photo software program!

    They are all great, but my fave is the one one with the “ghosts”! My 20 year old daughter got me onto “Picnik” awhile back. What a neat site and most all of it is free!! I really like that 🙂

  6. Patty says

    October 25, 2010 at 8:41 am

    Love the cross process effect!

  7. Robby says

    October 25, 2010 at 8:48 am

    I’m not much of a camera nerd, so I enjoyed them all. Of course, you started with a pretty spectacular photo in the first place!

  8. margene says

    October 25, 2010 at 9:36 am

    I might need to play around with that program, too. My fave is the first one in the post, but I like the last picture, too. Nice work and thanks for the tip.

  9. Cathy R says

    October 25, 2010 at 9:36 am

    They are all great, but I think I like the Halloween effect the best. It really plays off the gravestones to good end.

  10. Jo-Ann says

    October 25, 2010 at 9:50 am

    While I love the spooky Halloween effects, my favorite is the cross-process … really gives the photo an “old” feel, like you ran across it in a drawer full of memories!

  11. melanie says

    October 25, 2010 at 9:57 am

    the gritty onereminds me of days to come, when the leaves are ready to fall off the trees, and it starts to “s”

  12. Josie says

    October 25, 2010 at 10:10 am

    I like them all, but I especially like the tree (bush?) in the background that looks like a giant bat taking off over the graveyard. I can see it best in the Orton-ish effect one.

  13. Mary K. in Rockport says

    October 25, 2010 at 10:11 am

    Orton and Gritty.

  14. Martha says

    October 25, 2010 at 10:37 am

    I like the Halloween texture the best, because it’s spooky and interesting but also because it’s immediately evident the image has been altered. The others, I could kind of see “falling for,” like thinking they were the original. I struggle with the line between photography as art and photography as a documentary truth. It’s the historian in me.

  15. Cheryl S. says

    October 25, 2010 at 10:44 am

    Fun! I think I liked the Lomo-ish effect the best. But the gritty one was pretty neat, too.

  16. Teyani says

    October 25, 2010 at 11:50 am

    the ghosts are awesome – and ever so spookey…
    and honestly, I love your original too 😉

  17. Hillary says

    October 25, 2010 at 11:59 am

    I love playing with the Piknik effects. The one with the ghosts is really cool and fitting but I really love the way the Orton-ish one intensifies the colors.

  18. jill says

    October 25, 2010 at 12:29 pm

    Lomo and ghosts. I need to get my camera out more often. My mental camera isn’t as good as it use to be. 🙂

  19. Catie says

    October 25, 2010 at 12:31 pm

    Maybe it’s just me, but I liked the original. That said, the added ghosts in the graveyard is a nice touch.

  20. Laughingrat says

    October 25, 2010 at 12:49 pm

    Love that Orton effect, it really ramped up the contrast. One of my friends has been playing with little “toy” cameras like LOMOs and Holgas, and really enjoying the results.

  21. Sonia says

    I love the Halloween texture image! Great use of the textures 🙂

    Those are really neat – I think I like the Gritty effect!

    What fun! I really like the Gritty and Halloween effects!

  24. Cookie says

    Very cool!

  25. lisa says

    October 25, 2010 at 4:36 pm

    Geez, they’re all pretty cool… who could pick? I’ll have to tell my boyo about picnik, he’s a big gimp fan (and at not quite 15 does some pretty amazing things with it).

  26. Sabrina says

    October 25, 2010 at 6:03 pm

    I like the halloween effect best. I love playing with picnik myself.

  27. Jeannie says

    October 25, 2010 at 8:11 pm

    How fun. I like the 4th one. Lomo-ish effect.

  28. Annie says

    October 26, 2010 at 5:47 am

    Ortonish. I love them all… what a fun program. I’m going to go play with pictures too!

  29. Annie says

    October 26, 2010 at 8:45 am

    I like the Orton-ish effect
    I’m not great with photoshop either
    Might have to give this a try!

  30. Lois says

    October 27, 2010 at 8:30 am

    Hands down it’s the Halloween effect!

  31. Carol says

    October 27, 2010 at 9:02 am

    Love these photos! Amazing the difference of all those effects. These would make great note cards!!

  32. Laurie says

    October 27, 2010 at 11:00 am

    Wow, they’re all really cool! I like the Lomo and the ghosty ones best, I think.

  33. Kristi aka FiberFool says

    October 27, 2010 at 10:07 pm

    I often love lomo-ish, Orton and cross processing effects. It always depends upon the photo. With fall colors it seems you just really can’t go wrong, it just depends what kind of story you want to tell 🙂

  34. Vicki says

    October 28, 2010 at 9:45 am

    The possibilities are endless, aren’t they?? And sometimes they’re overwhelming!

  35. JessaLu says

    October 29, 2010 at 10:22 am

    Love the Lomo-ish one!

    If you have photoshop or even elements you can install the same actions – and most are free! Google ‘free photoshop actions’ and you’ll get links AND instructions! (that’s how I do most of my post processing – free actions!)

  36. Leslie says

    October 31, 2010 at 5:47 pm

    I always love cross processing, and the Orton effect on that tree is pretty great, too.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
