here is an image that i altered using different filters. While this image started off as the stock photo of the "superhero army" using different filters together, i was able to create an abstract image. With the help of the tutorial, I started off adding Gaussian Blur, Noise and Polar coordinates. Then, to add to it, I added a Lens Flare, which I actually really like. I think that filter will be fun to add to photos to make them more aesthetically pleasing. However, I also added a Smudge Stick filter to give the colors some texture and played with their highlight intensity to make it colors more pastel and brighter, something I just think makes this image look more nice and joyful.
With the other filters we learned today, I learned how to make water ripple effects and to liquify an image, which will be fun to play with in images of friends!
