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. Alternatively, if it is easier for you, you could post a gallery on Instagram with #tsc_1to3.
- 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 your post (pingbacks don’t work). 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.
November creations:
- Pictures Imperfect Blog
- Inkdrops
- Brashley Photography
- Geriatri’x’ Fotogallerie
- This, that and the other
Here’s my one-to-three contribution for this month:
Seasonal Transition
The wreath on our gate with a light dusting of snow and a few fallen leaves.
Directions for my methods:
This month I used the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) and the G’MIC plug in for it to play with this photo.
Simple Linear Iterative Clustering is a built in filter in the GIMP. It is found in the Artistic group in the Filters drop down menu.
Posterize is one of the G’MIC artistic filters.
The third variation uses two different abtraction filters in G’ MIC: Sharp Abstract and Smooth Abstract. I placed the smooth one over the sharp one and changed it’s layer opacity to 63%.

I’m so sorry. I’ll add it in. I don’t know why your comment doesn’t show up in the links. Please do keep letting me know when this happens.
I did a little more with this same picture on my WordPress.com blog using Topaz Studio 2: https://xingfumama.blog/2022/12/01/one-to-three-photo-processing-challenge-26/
Very seasonal! I think I like the original best with a close second the “Simple Linear Itinarive Clustering”. I’m not yet in December mode – it’s still autumn: https://picturesimperfectblog.wordpress.com/2022/12/02/from-one-castle-to-the-next/
We’ve still leaves on many trees. They look pretty with the little dusting of snow we’ve had this week.
Here’s mine.
