Well… it is a bit of mystery to me…. and I am quite shocked that the wires seem to be much closer to the viewer now (IMHO)… I wish I knew how to save History in GIMP for future references… anyway.. the generic term for this technique is “messing about” which consited of:
- NOT using Colours -> Auto
- There are 3 layers merged together. Each layer was processed by messing about with some colours / filter options.
- Top layer is merged using grain extract 74%. This gives wires their cool look. I think this layer was created using Colours -> Retinex
- 2nd layer is merged using Hard Light 49%
- 3rd layer is normal, and there is just a black canvas below to make picture standard size
- 2nd or 3rd layer was created using Colours -> Curves and ‘EXTREME messing about”. The starting and end points of the curve were moved almost to the middle point. Only thouse 2 points were moved.
