Styles, blends and sizes

Today I have mostly been having fun with blending images to see the outcome but I also had to look at image editing software.

I like Photoshop and I would like to use it but at over £20 per month it costs more than it’s worth for me. The next best according to the search results is Affinity Photo 2. I haven’t used it but it costs £70 all in. No recurring monthly payments, pay once and keep.

That’s a bit more realistic, so I download the 30 day trial. The interface is very similar, the tools look similar and the layers panel looks similar.

It’s Photoshop without the Adobe branding.

It doesn’t take any time to get used to the interface, it’s exactly the same as I’m used to. I play around with it for a while and crop a few images, change the hue and export, there’s no difference. I like it and I think I’ll keep it.

I am still finding the right style with the Tarot Deck and I really should continue with that but I feel like a change so I blend some of the images I’ve already made with others that I have on my drive. I really like the outcome with several of them and I’ll post them here;

The first two are my favourite, the images Midjourney can create is still astonishing to me.

I have opened an Instagram account and it’s here: Old Man (@oldmanversusai) on Instagram

I’ll link it on the site soon and for now it’s just got a few photo’s, some of which I’ve posted here but I will be uploading separate images there in the future.

That’s all for now, see you in the next one.

Cheers,

Old Man
