2. Combine.
3. Clean up in LR.
4. Title
5. Post
6. Think of ways to be more productive for the rest of the day.

Goose from Textures taken last summer and converted to a texture in Topaz Textures file
Love the 3D effect. I haven't been able to grasp 3D in Photoshop. Hopefully once my workload lessens I will be able to tackle some tutorials.
Personal opinion is that the beautiful goose gets lost. Might be because the colours are similar.
@salza Thanks as always for your thoughtful comments. I agree about the goose. I originally chose it (instead of P3) to blend in so you are right on target re the colors. In the end, it took too long to get to this point to start over with another figure in it. The 3D Filter isn't that hard in the end. The trick is to keep a layer as the base so that you can put the 3D on top of the original (or what you are using as original). Moving the 3D part around uses the four tools on the right of the tool bar. It's really trial and error more than anything for me, but easier once I was able to isolate the tools.
@taffy my problem has been that once I go into 3D I just cannot seem to get the shape and my original to talk to one another! Frustration takes over and I have sense of humour failure. I will try again when I have a few hours to play.
Wow I haven't come across this processing feature before. A bit mind blowing!! I agree with Sally @salza that the goose does get hidden in the colours.
There's *something* more productive than creating Art??? You've delighted us, and you're likely thoroughly relaxed and satisfied, and you're utilizing images that might otherwise have been swept under the rug! Good stuff in my book, Taffy! And you'd engaged camaraderie and it was Issi @jamibann who pointed me in this direction! (I've been lolling in the sunshine, photographing bees in the white blossoms. All *I* have to show for the efforts is, actually, *nothing* at the moment until I upload! Oh, and I did cut some orange slices to lay out to hopefully entice butterflies ala the Butterfly Garden you took us to. Nothing yet...
I haven't experimented with the 3D filter yet, but if this is what can be achieved, I must give it a go. The goose does get lost, but its kind of like 'Where's Wally', fun to find him:)
I'm with @Weezilou re both art and its therapeutic effects. Needless to say I like this shot a great deal, and have only admiration for the way you've got on top of 3D. It's great. The goose does get a little lost, but locating it sorta adds more interest to an already very appealing work.
Fun idea. lol venthe 3 D and still want you to tell me how to do it. As others have said the goose gets lost...probably both cause of bust background but also he is less saturated than the background
