When I visited a newer restaurant in Bend recently, it was a feast for the eyes. In this post, I experimented with photo effects at Yokocho Izakaya. This restaurant serves Japanese and Asian comfort foods. I’ll be posting a review after I visit it again in the near future.
I used Corel PaintShopPro 2021 for different photo processing effects on this picture of the restaurant. In the original image I increased the contrast and fill light and cropped the edges. Use the slider to view each effect compared to the original.
The first picture of the restaurant shows a Hue effect. For this image processing I went to Adjust>Hue and saturation>Hue map>Neon glow setting. My Yokocho Izakaya photo already had a lot of color. This effect intensifies all the colors.
The second picture of the restaurant shows an Artistic effect. For this image processing I went to Effects>Artistic Effects>Contours>Default setting. The colors are muted with this effect and contour lines are incorporated into many of the shapes. Note the customer at the bar nearly disappears with this effect.
The last picture of the restaurant shows a Time Machine effect. For this image processing I went to Effects>Photo Effects>Time Machine>Albumen setting. I tried several monotone processing effects, but I liked this one best. This effect highlights the many shapes and textures in the restaurant.
With so much to see at this restaurant, it was a challenge to decide which photo effects at Yokocho Izakaya to feature. The food is artfully presented as well.

What a fun restaurant! I've not seem milk crate chairs before. Cool effects that you got. I think I like the monochrome best.
Yes, it's decorated in a fun way. I liked the monochrome as well.
The restaurant sure is colourful Siobhan. Great use of the effects especially Contours, one that I can never get quite right. I have used Albulem before and had good results.
Thanks, Brian! Yeah, that restaurant has a lot of color. I hadn't tried the contour one before. Albumen is a great effect.
Looks like a good spot for dining. I'm sure you enjoyed your meal.
Yeah, Hammad, the food and the setting are both good!
