Playing around with textures - http://365project.org/discuss/general/24704/sandbox-365-digital-textures#comment-715366

I had some fun doing this, but I think I would change one or two minor things next time.

@bill_fe it was easier than I thought it
would be and not as time consuming.

Love what you have done here!

[Brigette]

well done and looks very evocative. Does the text have a personal connection?

[Sally Ings]

@brigette nothing at all! It's just a background that I downloaded off the internet.

[Lisa Villella]

great processing!

[Adam]

Great idea with the textures. Hey, did you apply a texture to the flower first before the poem?

[Sally Ings]

@adambralston if I remember correctly the flower is the base layer, then the page which gives the dark corners and torn edges and then finally the text page but I may have played around with the layer order. One day I will learn to write down what I have done!

[Adam]

@salza Well, if you are using Lightroom, you can go through the processes on the bottom left of the screen. I think PS has that option too. The way I try to remember a new technique is to immediately repeat it on a different photo. And sometimes, I will even do the technique again on the same photo just to go through the motions.

[Sally Ings]

@adambralston it was done in PS but I think I only saved the jpeg and not sure if that retains the history. I will have to check.

This is fabulous! I love the mood and the composition!
