tulip - before & after

mouse over to see the before texture image

oh these soft pink tulips were so happy to see the sunshine this morning.... sigh....
so pretty.

it even feels like spring today! yay......

hope you are finding some sunshine ...whereever you may be.

recipe: using the textures from my new collection
i started off by desaturating the image.
then texture "antiqued edge" soft light - 100%
then texture "quartz" multiply - 67%
then a duplicate of the background copy, color 38% and colorized the tulip tops soft red
then texture "scratch" at overlay 49% (removed texture from the tulip tops)

phew...the end. :)

happy sun shiney... sunday!  ♥  kim

This is very helpful. Been using layers in PS for years, but have never looked at them quite this way.
