Join the One-to-Three Photo Processing Challenge to have some creative fun with photos.
I lost track of time over the holidays and missed posting on New Years. I have been thinking about things and have decided to shift this challenge over to my WordPress.com blog: XingfuMama.blog. This is because ping backs work on that site, which, I am hoping, will prevent me from missing people’s posts, which has happened several times.
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.
- Create a pingback or comment with the URL of your post on my Xingfu Mama blog’s post.
- Check out what other folks are doing for new ideas.
I can hardly wait to see what you create.
December creations:
Here’s my one-to-three contribution for this month:
A street photograph from Shouguang, China.
Directions for my methods:
This month I used the GIMP (Gnu Image Manipulation Program) and the Nik and G’MIC plug in for it to play with this photo.
The black and white uses Nik Silver Effects preset, High Structure, harsh.
The other two versions are G’MIC filters in the Artistic group.

Oh, I’m so glad you’re back! I kept clicking and looking and wondering if I’d missed your challenge!
And a great start of the year from you with that almost street scene. I like the Graphic Novel Filter best, it brings out the starkness of the photo and focusses on the man who seems to almost breathe in his food!

I was at my sister’s over the holidays and lost track of time.
