I came across some old photographs today and in a moment of enlightened inspiration, I used Photoshop to explore the universe and my own soul through the manipulation of those images stored in one of the many folders on one of my external drives.
The scenery outside my house was illuminated by beautiful golden light. The weather was nice and warm, ideal for macro photography somewhere in the woods, by the sea, or in the garden, at least. But I decided to make a sacrifice, stay indoors, and spend some time exploring the inner universe.
Believe it or not, you'll see an example of macro introspection in this post.
I don't know why, but I knew that I have to do some Photoshopping. It was like a vocation. A voice from somewhere inside the skull. A sign of a god or psychosis.
So I took these two butterflies ...
... and I changed them.
I changed them more than once.
Here, for example, I added a bunch of lovely dots.

Here you can see the original scene, unimproved by the artsy interventions.
At one point, I felt blue.

But not for long.
Things are strawberry-red in this variation.
Right now, as I'm writing this ambitious post, is late afternoon and the weather has turned from warm and sunny to cloudy and humid. But who cares about weather reports? Let's continue with art, introspection, and the reproduction of butterflies.
I'll publish this silly thing later, at night. At 8:23 PM exactly.

AND THAT'S IT. HAVE A GREAT DAY, OR NIGHT, WHEREVER ON THE PLANET YOU ARE. THE BUTTERFLIES SHOWN IN THE POST ARE THE EUPHYDRYAS AURINIA. AS ALWAYS HERE ON HIVE, THE PHOTOGRAPHS ARE MY WORK.

An interesting experiment
Especially considering your added text)
My knowledge of Photoshop is limited to the banal color correction of my own photos. It's hard to make a good collage. But to each his own)
Thanks. 🙂 Glad you find this interesting.
A good, well-thought-out collage, is indeed fairly hard to make. But experimenting with Photoshop as I did here, is easy and relaxing. 🙂 Just take a photograph and try some options and filters on it. If the creations look a bit dull and empty - just write something on them. It's fun, and you can also learn or discover some Photoshop techniques along the way.
In the era of AI art, manual experiments in Photoshop look very original))
Yes, I think, on occasion, it is worth taking the time ...
The only pity is that there are only 24 hours in a day, when there are so many things around that require our attention.
True 🙂 The 24-hour long day here on Earth feels a bit short. And then, one must also spend some time sleeping ... I agree, is hard to find the time for silly experimentation, especially as an adult.
The time for experiments is youth. Now it's time to apply the skills to create what will remain after us for our descendants.
I have many plans to organize the space around me, and despite the obstacles that arise, I think - I succeed.
Some of these were cool to look at and compare to the original.

Photoshop is a very good software that makes the pictures look very cute. I don't know how to use it yet but I'm learning. All these butterflies looks so beautiful but 2nd is my favorite.
I think you have a better knowledge about photoshops.
If you continue to do this everyday, you will surely improve.
Indeed, the butterfly is very beautiful for us to see
Aww so beautiful butterflies 🦋 hope you got the very interesting experience with these cute butterflies.
Very well edited, in fact the pictures were beautiful. Admirable work
such an interesting animation about this butterfly sir. @borjan
@borjan This looks amazing! ❤️
HIVE ON!♦️
