CRAPITIOLIOS!! I feel like I got a new handle on clarifying my different approaches for Tame Caricatures or Exaggerated Caricatures, and I figured that I'd best start checking it out with the one that just wasn't getting drawn quite Tame last night. But the reference photo was very Small ~ and that would be a problem with trying out tonight's approach. I make the reference picture Small when I prepare to show it along with the Caricature because I there's only a little bit of space where we see a post ~ and I want to focus more on the Caricature than on the reference photo.
So I went into my Computer's Trash to look for the original (Larger) Reference Photo ~ feeling like it's a needle in a haystack to actually turn up there. Because my Computer's Trash Automatically Empties every 30 days.
Even so, there were Thousands of Photos there in the Trash. I started looking through them. "Hmmmm..... these Caricatures look good," I thought. "I don't know why they're in the Trash. I don't remember posting them." I pulled a few out of the trash. Put them onto my Computer's Desktop.
Oh! it's because the Suffix is MOV instead of JPG. That happens a lot when I mindlessly press the wrong button on my Phone's Camera while Entertaining at an Event. When I get good Reactions, I like to snap a few quick Photos along with the Caricature that I drew.
My phone has Choices for things like Photo, Portrait, MOVIE....
Hmmm..... I wondered if I could just take a Still shot from the Movie. I slid these pictures into PhotoShop.
Oh! Now I remember. I remember why I automatically put all photos that have MOV Suffix (happens if I choose Movie instead of Photo) or AAE Suffix (happens if I use one of those Options for changing the Lighting) or an E before the Image Number (I don't know What that is. DO YOU? ANYBODY?). I feel uncomfortable about it, but I Think the AAE's and the E-before the Image Number pictures are Duplicates that I would also have in my main list of JPG's. And I thought Oh the MOV's that I take by mistake ~ result in me just losing the opportunity to use SO MANY PICTURES. These really looked intriguing. Hundreds of them here just in This Month's Trash??
I slid a couple of the MOV's into PhotoShop. Yes ~ I remember ~ I just see a big Green Rectangle instead of an Image Or a Movie. Gone. The pictures are Gone.
But tonight I figured out a way to make even more work for me. I could Open (thereby Enlarging) each MOV on the Desktop, take a Screenshot, and Slide the Screenshot into PhotoShop. So I can make my usual posts of my Caricature with a little Reference Picture in the Corner.
I'm probably not going to do all that. I hope I don't make mistakes when I snap those Quick Photos
