On a recent trip to Seattle, I visited Pike Place Fish Co. at the Pike Place Market. There are lots of opportunities for photography at the Market. On the day I visited, it was packed with people.
I used Corel PaintShopPro 2021 for different photo processing effects on this picture of the Pike Place Fish Co. booth. In the original image I slightly increased the contrast and fill light and cropped the edges. Use the slider to view each effect compared to the original.
The first one shows the original photograph and the same picture with a Cross Process effect. For this image I went to Effects>Photo Effects>Time Machine>Cross Process. I liked how this effect intensified the colors. The original had a lot of color to begin with.
The next one shows the original photograph and the same picture with a Film & Filters effect. For this image I went to Effects>Photo Effects>Film & Filters>Enhanced Reds>Cooling filter. I liked how this effect enhanced the red color on the crab, salmon, and spice jars.
The last picture of the Pike Place Fish Co. shows an Artistic Effect. For this image processing I went to Effects>Artistic Effects>Colored Edges>Default setting. I used the Fill Flash adjustment to lighten it slightly. I liked the strong outlines and muted colors of this image. It looks like an old-time illustration.

I really like all of these. Each gives the photo a different vibe.
Thanks! I had a hard time deciding which I liked best.
Siobhan, I was thinking of you today, 45 years after the blast and found this! Warms my heart to see you are still in and with nature!
Thanks, Tom! Yeah, I'm always thinking of sharing the nature I've experienced. Are you Tom Cyra?
I like the different edits of this cool place
Thank you! :)
I like how cooling the overall image makes the warm colors / red pop. Something for me to think about... rather than adding saturation to the reds and oranges.
Thanks! It's fun to experiment with different settings.
These are so good Siobhan. I agree with the last one and is my favourite. I hadn't thought of using Image Compare which show the changes well
Thanks, Brian! Yeah, I liked how that last one turned out as well. The Image Compare is a cool tool to use for this challenge. :D
I'd forgotten all about this particular challenge, so firstly, thank you for the reminder :) And secondly, thank you for talking us through your work flows. I use different software but I can see the parallel processes there. My favourite of your edits is the first as I like the vibrancy it brings to the image.
Thanks, Sarah! I hadn't done it in a while either. Yeah, the first image shows off the scenes colors.
