The "shape-changing" software MirrorLab, has many presets, from this simple one to exremely complicated ones. I use very few, mostly simple/minimalist versions.
The colours were my selection, and applied with Ps Gradient Maps. Used what most people called happy, joyful colours.

18 Apr 24 Comment Beautiful picture - nicely photographed and processed. Like the muted background that helps the car stand out and makes it an Altered Reality image. Apr 7th

29 Apr 24 Reply Hi Bob
Like you, I use Ps exclusively for my editing. At the end of the process I decide whether I should use my plug in's. If I think the colours need some help, I go to Nik Colour Effects. If I want to turn the image to Altered Reality, I use Topaz Studio or MirrorLab. But in all cases, I use their presets - which makes the learning curve really easy - compared to learning Ps.
Just my experience.

The dark area was in heavy shade, as I remember it.

Yes, I replaced the original, boring sky with another one of mine. In hindsight, I should have used a lighter blue sky to go with the scene

29 Apr 24 Reply Taken June, mid-afternoon. Since I shoot with Auto White Balance, I end up adjusting colour quite often, so date/time lose their meaning. Apr 11th
29 Apr 24 Comment Very nice street photography example. Nice focus on the smiling lady, although for me, the lightened face is just a tad too light. Hope you don't mind, but I took another approach to this picture - I like and focused on the business of the store, rather than the lady. Darkened the top a bit and lightened the lady a little. Certainly no better than your image, but just a different approach. Apr 8th
29 Apr 24 Comment Beautiful abstract - love the colours and is nice and sharp. The only thing that bothers me a little is the white background - for my eyes the white distracts from the flower which is very light itself. See a version attached - although I think a lighter green (or other colour) would work better. See what you think. Apr 8th
29 Apr 24 Comment I quite like the swirl effect and the contrasting colours. Not fond of the swirl effect on the flower. See another version attached.

29 Apr 24 Comment Very creative - like it very much. The green and blue colour combination works well, and certainly would serve for a basis for a series, using different real butterfly colour combinations. Apr 7th
29 Apr 24 Comment Beautiful scenery, nicely captured and processed. I especially like your light touch of the Topaz filter. Would not change a thing. Apr 7th
29 Apr 24 Comment Like the look on his face and gesture. Nicely photographed. Without your description, my interpretation would have been "Thoughtful". Funny story. Apr 7th

34 Apr 24 Comment I agree, Jan - More depth certainly improves this picture - thanks for the suggestion Apr 17th
34 Apr 24 Reply Thanks, Jan
Vignetting, in my opinion, is helpful if you want the viewer to look at a specific area of the image.
My intent in this picture is to let the eyes travel along the "waves", edge-to-edge. Also, as a matter of personal taste, I often see vignettes over saturated that draws the attention to them.

34 Apr 24 Comment Nicely done - so much to see and enjoy. Personally I struggle with these kind of images, as my eyes and attention feel being pressured to move to the next image, before I can appreciate what I'm looking at. Weird I know. Thanks for your effort to put this together. Apr 11th
34 Apr 24 Comment A lot of effort and creativity payed off with this "Small World" picture. Like everything about it, especially the composition, colours, and detail. A nit, but maybe fewer flowers would make the beautiful buildings and features stand out more. Well done. Apr 11th
34 Apr 24 Comment Sorry, Steve
Not a fan of this filter. Do like the original a lot
Apr 11th
34 Apr 24 Comment Very nicely done. I like the minimalistic look. Would not change a thing. Apr 11th
34 Apr 24 Comment Thanks Steve.
I selected the colours, as they apparently are perceived as happy, joyful colours - and applied them with Ps Gradient Maps.
