Sometimes I like to use the wonderful little banner designs that VOX provides. There's some wonderful talent there. But sometimes I like to customize.
This is based on a banner
Princess_Jime created for the Vox Banners group,
here. It's been passed through the Sobel edge detect and Predator filters.
This is based on a Halloween photo I chose not to share. It was part of the set of photos my parents took-- if you look back, they're of better resolution quality. The photo was chopped in half, however-- I'm not sure if the original digital file was like that or if it wound up that way when it was e-mailed to me. I also didn't like the expression-- didn't seem as Fester-ish. So after cropping it to a headshot, I put it through the Sobel edge detect filter again, applied a Softglow filter, and applied the Colorize tool, which gave it the rather blueish background. I showed it to Cimmy, who simply said, "Weird." Good! That was the effect I was aiming for.
The profile picture some of you may recognize from my XaoS post at Monday Museé. In case you missed it, here it is again:

Love the new look!!!!
That edges thing is neat, isn't it?
I haven't used the Predator one much -- I'll give it another try..
But I managed to get one -- here. But I spent so much time messing with the setup that I didnt' do a very good image, or test many things. Anyway, it'll be a good thing to use, once I figure out more. I'm glad you mentioned it again!
