Join the One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge to have some creative fun with photos.
The purpose of the One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge is to play. These days we have so many different ways to process a photo: from phone apps to Photoshop. And these different software options make it accessible for anyone to get fun and beautiful effects. Whether you have a lot of time or a little.
I’ve been spending a lot of my pandemic playing with photo processing. Because it is a relaxing indoor activity that I can do for free (I mostly use open-source programs and old versions of paid programs). And I thought it might be fun to share what I’ve been doing and see what other folks are trying out.
No complicated rules, just:
- Pick a photo you want to play with.
- Process it using three different methods.
- After that create a blog post with the original and your creative products.
- If you can, please include a description of your methods. So others can give them a whirl.
- Then add a comment below containing the link to you post (pingbacks don’t seem to work, I’m trying to figure out why). So we can all see your creations.
- Check out what other folks are doing for new ideas.
I can hardly wait to see what you create.
December creations:
Here’s my contribution for this month:
Directions for my methods:
- G’mic is a free plug in for the GIMP (and, I believe, other programs) with over 500 filters for everything from artistic effects to tools for improving images. This uses the Brushifyl filter in the Artistic set.
- A black and white created using the Nik Collection’s Silver Effects Pro, this is a plug in for GIMP (and other programs), my version is the older free version.
- I used a background layer of a photo of rice paper and a copy of the azalea with G’mic’s Kuwahara (Artistic set) filter applied and a transparent fuzzy border. The post GIMP fuzzy transparent border tells how to do that. The upper (flower) layer had a grain merge blend mode so the texture of the rice paper showed through.
I used the GIMP, an open-source (free) program comparable to Adobe’s Photoshop. If you are interested in trying the GIMP, check out my post: Get going with the GIMP.

I am really glad I found this. I love editing in post. Here’s my contribution. https://talesfrommylens.net/2021/01/03/1-to-3/
This looks like fun, although I won’t be using anything too technical until I get my head around GIMP.
