fake black metal cover art edit 2 - a photo on Flickriver

            Someone posted a low resolution version of the above image to the fledgling social network site Bluesky.  It reminded me a bit of the cover art to Mayhem's "De Mysteriis Dom Sathanas" (arguably the most famous black metal album of all time.)  

Inspired, I set out on a lengthy process of editing.  First, I ran the image through Topaz Gigapixel AI, upscaling 6x.  Then I ran it through the simple editing app Photolemur ...three times.  Next I combined all 3 versions in Photoshop, using different blending techniques.  After that I ran the combined image through Luminar 4, making a bunch of tweaks.  I added some vignetting, fake film grain and a star field.  Lastly I sharpened and cleaned it up quite a bit in Photoshop.

That's a lot of editing for an image I didn't take, but I had fun doing it.
