The colour splash effect is a photo editing trick that turns full-colour photos into black-and-white pictures and re-adds spots of colour in selected areas.
When unusable photos can’t be fixed, turn them into eye-catching art! 😀
BlurryLights = Bokeh Magic:
In photography, “bokeh” (Japanese term) is the aesthetic quality of the blur produced in out-of-focus parts of an image, caused by circles of confusion. Bokeh has also been defined as “the way the lens renders out-of-focus points of light”.
Amusing Abstract Art Edits:
Abstract art uses visual language of shape, form, colour and line to create a composition which may exist with a degree of independence from visual references in the world.

Well, sometimes the camera shots could use a little editing to look their best. 🙂 I remember once, you wanted an object removed from a photo and it looked all the better for it, afterwards.
Hi Debbie, I love how you explain your edits. Fotor seems to be popular. Love the people-removing effect…we may need to be careful with that as a Generative AI tool else we remove real people, LOL! JK! I like your idea of fixing lousy images. I wrote a post about that years ago. Some blurry ones are not worth keeping IMHO. I also agree with others that I use the Windows 11 photo editor as well as Samsung’s phone camera editing tools (on the go). And I love your use of bitmojis!
Thanks, Terri. 🙂 Apologies for the late response. Fotor has some good features, and it’s not too expensive. Taking pictures at popular tourist sites is always difficult, with so many people milling around. Photoshop Element’s removal tool works well for most obstructive objects. AI certainly has the potential to do many things, and it’s a little frightening, to be honest. I’d love to read your post about fixing lousy images. Some are fun to experiment with. I’ve been hooked on Bitmojis since they first appeared as a Facebook app. Of course, Facebook discontinued them in favour of their own avatar making tool, but IMO, the Bitmojis are better looking.
I like the color splash technique – very cool! Fabulous job removing the people in front of the fountain in Nice, too. I love to dabble with photos, especially old ones that need restoring. That’s really hard sometimes to get a natural look. Have a phototastic week, Debbie!
The colour splash creates some interesting effects. I was happy the way the NIce fountain turned out. It’s almost impossible to avoid having tourists clutter up your photos in popular places. Restoring old photos is definitely challenging, but there are so many great software tools available now. Thanks for coming by, Cathy! 🙂

Your photo editing skills are fantastic!
You certainly have a knack for transforming ordinary images into something extraordinary, Debbie!
Thank you so much, Veronica! Photo editing is an art in itself, I think.
Thank you for joining the Wordless Wednesday Blog Hop.
Have a fabulous Wordless Wednesday. ♥
Thank you, Sandee! 🙂
A great selection of fun editing choices, Debbie. Thanks for including your explanations.
Thank you, Cathy! 🙂 I enjoyed putting this post together.
These were fun
Thank you, Kirstin! 🙂 I had fun putting this post together.
What great photos! I love what you did with them especially highlighting certain things in colour. Love the peacocks in the hotel. These are great.
Thank you, Birgit! 🙂 The colour splash feature is cool.
Great tips, Debbie! I love what you did with Zoey and the squirrel. I also like the Brokeh effect.
Thanks, Eugi! The Zoey image was fun to make. 🙂
You are welcome, Debbie.
I try messing with photographs, but I’m not very good at it. It’s still fun.
Have a fabulous day and week, Debbie. ♥
Fun is the main thing, Sandee. 🙂 Thanks for coming by.
Messing with photos can be fun, but I am a rather boring traditionalist, so usually prefer the original shot from the camera. 🙂
Best wishes, Pete.

Yes, the only photo I ever had edited, because I wanted to give a print of it to my wife in a frame. I was lucky that someone did that for me. 🙂

I love your bokeh photos, and of course your dog, Zoey! Great tips for editing and thanks for the link to Photoshop Elements!
Thank you, Susanne! Zoey is very photogenic. 🙂 I’m glad you found the tips helpful. Photoshop Elements is a handy tool.
What lovely images you create with your editing. I’m an amateur.
Love,
Janie
