Cool, Joayne! Had you used SFX before, or was this your first time with it? I do love that software.

NEW THEME

I have had it for awhile.. I got a free download when Google bought them, and downloaded it again when they released it free again.
I use it inside of photoshop.. I think the image is waaaay too noisy, even with noise reduction.

I remembered you'd said you'd downloaded it. That's why I asked. The noise is the only negative I have as an ongoing nitpick with SFX. I confess I'll run some through Noiseware after I pull them back into Photoshop if the noise is bothersome.

Lisa, I have a tendency to not use presets.. Or if I do, I mod them
I prefer my own imagination!!

I agree 100%! I use presets as a starting point, but I almost always tweak them. I love using the control points in that software. That may be what I like most about it.

I didn't try for this week's theme until today. Time pressure from a list of must-do's, and I didn't expect much success just desaturating something and making the few adjustments that my primitive PPware allows. But this scene was almost monochromatic to begin with. The cylinder is a dilapidated counterweight on a fire escape. Everything was painted white and in bright sun.
