Miro meets Escher
I went to the Richard III visitor centre in Leicester this week. Museums are not my cup of tea but we had an Italian visitor who wanted to go (and so did Higher Management).
As expected (for me) it was all a bit tedious (I've done the Uffizi in Florence in 10 minutes) so I had taken my camera to have a wander round to see what I might find photographically
The most interesting room for me was actually an empty meeting room. I was drawn by the shapes and lines when looking at the ceiling. So in my mind's eye I saw a Miro minimalist abstract with lots of white space and a few lines and shapes.
When I came to process it with that intent I also saw that the corner could be either inwards or outwards - hence the addition of Escher in the title.
Incidentally - given the discussion on the Eileen Rafferty thread in Forum Chat the conversion method I used was:
- to add a B&W adjustment layer (not standard in PSE 11 but I have an action which makes available at least some of the new stuff in PSE 13) and adjusted the sliders for red/yellow/green/cyans/blue/magenta to increase contrast as I wanted.
NB in the video she uses a pointer to decide which slider to use (I think) but that wasn't available to me so I just tried them all
- then ran Ian's triple action to produce under/normal/over exposed B&W images via Nik SFX
- in this case used the normal as a base for further contrast using curves
- finished with using tonal contrast from Colour FX pro 4, as suggested by Martin in his contrast grading DVD

One day I might grow up, but I hope not
Say YES unless good reason to contrary
