My initial representation of this dinosaur pattern as a soccer ball, has been further developed along two alternate strategies. On the left is the result of the gentle application of a fish-eye filter using UrfinView. On the right is the product of Photoshop’s Spherize filter, first applied at 100%, then this result at 50%. This representation as a triplet allows one to compare each end product with the original. Keith
wow… great to put three variations to show what can be done. Left one looks like a soccer ball.. but with symmetry.. of course the blackness would be off. GOod alternating colors as they are bright. Center one looks like a disk.. like a plate warmer.. since the images are all flat and not stretched.. but still good.. the right side.. hmmm.. would be more acceptable as a dino ball as the images are still stretched and the blackness is limited to viewing. How much stretch of the image is the perception.. but it is on its way. Funny it would be to see a big dinosaur kicking itself around as a ball… hahahahha
Thank you Lambchop – comments most appreciated. Actually, as you have probably guessed, I made a huge number of these with slight variations in the distortion settings, saving them with the settings in the filename. This is what I do to learn the possibilities in a filter engine, for the future. Here we see just three. Keith
