Help needed - retracing work - Mb4ch - 10-24-2021
HI all,
I recently played around with some abstract photography. I was in a state of mind that made it difficult to retrace my steps / filters / effects I applied
I know its a long shot but I thought maybe somebody here has an idea what kind of filters / settings have this effect. Take it as a challenge
Original: https://imgshare.io/image/img-20200617-055010-forum.p1HL6t
Outcome: https://imgshare.io/image/055010-forum.p1HQEj
I am pretty sure I inverted the colors before applying filters, but like I said I was pretty out of it. I am not even sure if it was a filter specifically or other settings which does not make things easier
. All I know for sure that it is definately that photo as I never renamed it, and I used only part of the original (cropped). If you do find out you have my eternal gratitude and utmost respect

Possibly Circular Motion Blur on the original picture, then added a layer with Supernova, and set to some specific Blend mode.

I don't think I've ever been to this site before, even so when I click on the link in the first post I get the following message:

@Ofnuts: Thanks! Ill check that out when I get back from work. I was playing around wth circular motion blur but something was missing. I think the supernova effect is the piece I was missing.
@Krikor: Ugh I dont know what happened there
I have no problems accessing the site from european servers, maybe it has something to do with location. I can send the files as pm if Ofnuts has not already solved my problem.

Turns out you were right about the supernova effect, however the motion blur was not part of it. Original pic - desaturate - duplicated layer with emboss with low opacity - merged - supernova - edge detect. some more highlighting and darkening to underline the supernova...not entirely the same outcome but i got close enough. Thanks again for the help my man!
Consider this issue solved.
peace
