Country Door
I look at these barn doors and think of the farmers who built this barn with every board. The structure may seem plain and ordinary to others. All I see is beauty in the slowly aged patina of color and texture.
Texture Touch with Adobe Photoshop:
- Drop and pull the legacy texture #3 over your image
- From the layers palette select the linear burn blending mode
- Add the tall tale texture next and apply the overlay blending mode
- Reduce the opacity of this second layer of texture to 85%
- Last add the gardenia overlay #3 to the top

ReplyDeleteWhat a beautiful edit! What's funny is that the edit looks so natural. I was surprised it wasn't original. You definitely warmed up the tones.
ReplyDeleteThanks Sharon, I like to simply enhance photos
DeleteBeautiful! I love your editing.
ReplyDeleteI'm a sucker for these simple details, too.. I just love the wood & the history & labor that went into them.
ReplyDeleteMy husband owns a sawmill (and is a contractor & carpenter who specializes in heavy construction, pole barns, etc.) so we really appreciate not only the architecture, but the sawing & making of each board & timber.
PS: I've finally become totally addicted to playing with textures, too!
Oh I want those sliding barn doors!
ReplyDeleteI'm runnin very late this week... but thank you for joining =)
