Playing with Percolator App

December 16, 2021 ~ sherresartzone ~ Leave a comment

Percolator 2.6.1 (2613) Grind: Extra Fine (Average Circles & Effect: Auto Adjust), Brew: Treble (3/4 Pic & Darkest Blended Circles), Serve: Stirred (Vignette Tone & Paper Cup Texture). I just got this app for a course on slow shutter iPhoneography and used a recent painting I made to see what kind of result it could produce. I liked this first combination so decided to share it here.

It was fun to have some time this morning to play around with one of my painted images in Photoshop and Filter Forge. The original is second from the right on the bottom row.
