I made two pieces of art inspired by the Let’s Do More Challenge. I really love this challenge. IF you would like to try here is the original post by Albert Herdianto Widjojo below.

#1 The finished product.

A sunset photo split in thirds with different edits of the same photo, a preset border and added words on the top.

#2 Original

straight out of the camera.

Carol DM says:

How beautiful, you are so good!

  That means a lot coming from the sunset master! Thank you.

Even this original picture is very beautiful.

  It was beautiful, but the camera did mute the colors a little.

#3 Black and White

This was an easy process. I used a program called Fotor that I have downloaded onto my computer. This was a preset setting in many black and white options.

Carol DM says:

December 16, 2018 at 7:09 pm

I love using Fotor as well. 🙂

  It is my only photo editor really. I love it. So simple. 🙂 Simple makes me happy.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

December 16, 2018 at 10:01 pm

That’s a great black and white image, Kim. I am not used to using Fotor. To make black and white I only use the Microsoft Office Picture Manager default software.

- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  December 17, 2018 at 3:52 pm
  
  I like having the different preset choices or you can just take the color out yourself very easily.

    That’s good, while I haven’t used to using Fotor so far.

#4 Purple

I enhanced the purple in the sky in Fotor using a purple wash.

Carol DM says:

December 16, 2018 at 7:10 pm

You created a stunning sky here.

- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  December 17, 2018 at 3:53 pm
  
  This was the retro setting, purple. Thank you.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

December 16, 2018 at 10:03 pm

The brilliance of the sky made it very impressive.

1
- Kim_Johnson says:
  
  December 17, 2018 at 3:54 pm
  
  I tried all different kinds of washes, this was my favorite. So glad you like it.

    December 17, 2018 at 4:29 pm
    
    Yeah! That’s my favorite too…

#5 Water

This is also a preset setting. I also enhanced the colors using a tone enhancement tool.

Carol DM says:

December 16, 2018 at 7:10 pm

This is a cool effect. Nicely done.

  Reminds me of swimming in our pool as a kid. 🙂
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

December 16, 2018 at 10:05 pm

Cool game results to enjoy.

  I used to dream we all lived in water, and you would swim everywhere like Mermaids without the tail. 🙂

#6 I cropped

the black and white, the water one and the purple washed one.

Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

December 16, 2018 at 10:06 pm

I have been quite friendly with the tree for a long time.

  When we planted it, must be 12 years ago, it was just in a 5 gallon pot. You know you can bonsai these. Yes, of course you know…

    Isn’t that a tree that I ever made a poem for?

      Did I miss a poem???? Yes, I have three trees I shoot in the yard and on the horizon. This pepper is my fav.

        December 18, 2018 at 5:13 pm
        
        You do not miss it but merely already forgot about it. The title of the post was “Message from Standing People” which has used several photos of some friends here like Gina, Carol, Elenka, and others beside you. I just checked that post but there are only titles and all comments without the contents anymore.

#7 Paint

I took the purple wash one into the program that came with the computer, Paint.

I then added the two cropped ones onto the purple one and saved it. Then took it back into Fotor and used a preset Christmas Border, and added the Let's Do More on top.

Thank you again for the inspiration Albert!

Nice job on all of your photos as always.

  Thank you and I am so glad Albert has given us this opportunity. I would of never have thought of it.
Albert Herdianto Widjojo says:

December 16, 2018 at 10:08 pm

I think Paint 3D that I use is an improvement from Paint even though both of them are on my computer.

  December 17, 2018 at 3:58 pm
  
  I read that is what you used in one of the comments on one of your posts. I bet I would like it.

  I was going to use the original for the base, but the purple won out. It was mine as well. Thank you Alibb!

Number 5 is my favorite, but love them all. You are a pro at this. Is Fotor free to download?

- Carol DM says:
  
  December 16, 2018 at 7:11 pm
  
  Yes Fotor is a free download. 🙂

  Yes, it is free. I love it, it is so simple to use. You can do things manually, or there are tons of preset effects you can choose from. Thank you LaJenna!

    I tried Fotor, and I can get it to work for me.

      Oh how wonderful. I hope you enjoy it. Play with all the slide tools. My fav is tone. Then if you want to get wacky, you can pick the RGB and Curve tool. I also use that shadows and highlight slide tool on almost everything I do. The presets even have a slide tool. 😉

      I was wondering that but read it again. I thought you got it obviously, anyway, did you go to the free download or try the one that is online? Carol and I did the free download one. Let me know whats going on and maybe I can walk you through it.
