In this “Three Minutes Max” video, Nigel French shows off a quick way to create an abstract look from a photo. As he says, he uses “no artificial intelligence at all” in this old school trick. It may be a simple operation, but it can create a visually interesting—and often quite colorful—finished image.
Three Minutes Max comes from a fun—yet very competitive—session at our annual CreativePro Week conference. Speakers have three minutes (max!) to wow the audience with the tip and win a prize for a lucky conference attendee.
