{Weekend Texture} Shine

mouse over to see the before

Hello lovelies.... How was your weekend?

I am popping in with a new texture and a little recipe.

Today's texture is called 'shine'.... I really love what it's does to today's images.

Here's my photoshop recipe:

  • Added a black and white adjustment layer to desaturate the image. 
  • Added a red to cream gradient map adjustment layer, at normal blend mode 28% opacity.
  • Added 2 layers of shine.... one at 100% soft light and another layer at 42% soft light. 
  • Added a levels adjustment to boost the blacks (contrast) just a little.  
  • Added the type. (font: vt portable remington)

I just love how the texture brought out the detail in the glass and the silver below.....  'sigh'....

{Weekend Texture} Vintage Inspired

mouse over to see the before

Hello lovely friends. How was your weekend? Good? Yes, I hope! Mine was lovely.... but I will admit I have been hit by a bit of the blahs, today. 'sigh'....  Not to worry though.... tomorrow is a new and shiney day.... 

'phew'....

I have a lovely texture for you to try. I've been playing around with it on several photos.... I do believe it's a 'gooder'.....

Today's tulip photo is a bit of a rule breaker.... standing tall, smack dab in the center of the canvas... But, for some reason I like it. :)

Introducing Felicity.
