Playing

When I need to learn or refresh my mind on how a program works, I play.  Here I am playing in Corel Photopaint.
 126/365  This is a preset effect called 'zigzag', set at normal.


 127/365  I made this into a duotone, returned the colour to it (RGB) , on one colour plane and then turned it back into a .jpg.  Not sure I could get the same effects again. She is a flaming red-head, though.


128/365  Playing with the light values in gray scale and then scrubbing the background. 

Okay, playtime is over.  Must read minutes and meeting notes now.  Snivel!
