Congrats to last week's Texture Twist Winner - Amarie author of Tickle my Whimsy
I'm so excited to share with a Texture Twist by the Shabby Photographer!
In Natalie's own words "this is how the magic happened..."
- I duplicated my image, changed it to screen, and set the opacity to 50% ( I like doing this as it will give your picture that over exposed kind of look that i love)
- I added Life-n-Reflection's texture Morning Mist at 60% on overlay
- I used a soft brush on 25% opacity and painted black to brush some of the texture off the blueberry`s that were more in the focus
- Once I finished I applied a unsharpen mask to Amount 50% Radius 2.0 and Threshold 5 just enough to bring back the fine detail of the blueberries

ReplyDeleteI HAD A LITTLE SHADOW
(With apologies to Robert Louis Stevenson)
I had a little shadow
No bigger than my thumb;
I took him to the meadow
And there I gave him rum.
My drunken little shadow
Did weave and bob and pitch;
He stumbled from the meadow
And fell into a ditch!
