Fascinating study of angles & lines and gradations, Phil! Just curious, do you play with the black point (what it’s called in the iPhone) adjusting the degree of black (vs just contrast)? Thanks! Really great work!
Thanks, Felipe! I used Affinity Photo to add adjustment layers for clarity, black and white, as well as a tone map. Glad you like it!
I think you’re the first person I’ve come across also using Affinity Photo, and way ahead of me it sounds like, lol! I’ve used the Threshold feature on photos pretty well, but found it’s too harsh on the few paintings I’ve experimented it with. It’s such a great tool, Affinity Photo.
I agree, Felipe – a wonderful program! I use the Develop & Tone Map personas constantly for photography, and the Distort > Mirror filter is also big fun when creating abstract/kaleidoscopic images!
Your fun with it shows, Phil ❤️
