This photo, taken in downtown Bend, Oregon, shows a bright future. I used infrared processing to show the light not always visible to the naked eye.
A sign on a lamppost reads, “Shelter, Help, Hope.” It’s from one of the homeless shelters here in town. Sometimes, if people in difficult situations can focus on the light ahead, they can find their way out of the darkness.

The infrared works well. I should try it out. 😀
Thanks! It's my favorite PaintShop Pro effect.
Does it work better with lights?
Yeah, but you can adjust the "flare " to increase or decrease the effect. It also works well with many images that look good in black and white.
Thanks for the tip 😀
It's a wonderful thought. I hope that they can, and I'm grateful for the shelters. Many thanks for sharing.
Thanks, Jo!
