Spherical distortion - 2

These are the original and derived images of the second picture hanging in the bedroom. Again, I can almost conjure up the original. This, and yesterday’s effort, show how a rather poor black-and-white photograph can sometimes produce a colourful and pleasing picture, thanks to a cleverly programmed photo-editor (and irrespective of the idiot who’s using it). I can more or less understand how the spherical distortion could be produced by some mathematical jiggery-pokery, but where the colours came from, I have no idea. As far as I can recall, it required no input from me, other than telling Corel Paint Shop it was dealing with a colour negative rather than a black and white one. I have tried to achieve the same effect using my current editor, Photoshop Elements, but without success. Perhaps it’s time to invest in a third photo-editor. It wouldn’t break the bank, but it could be costly in terms of memory.
