Though there's still time in the day to find some photos, I've spent time recently going through these steps to see what I might come up with:
1. Adjust the picture in Photoshop
2. Run it through some apps and save my favorites
3. Take it back in PS and pair different parts of the photo that I like best.
4. Run it through some On1 textures
I really need to stop this and get other things done, but boy it's fun!
@radiogirl Thanks Kathy! You probably know how busy I get in a Lunenburg summer, so this winter has been my downtime to experiment. There seems to be simply no end to where it can take you! It's quite relaxing when you get in the zone, I might add!
Well of course this is magical, it's your magic! Would be fun to see the original before the processing, I'm sure it was quite lovely. This is a fav for me for sure!
@danette Hi Danette! I love ON1 and use it more than the textures I've added to Lightroom! I buy many from Photomorphis and they're wonderful! It's a small, 2 person company, so they respond whenever I need help. Though I have several of these items, I downloaded Ll this just today: http://www.photomorphis.com/blog/2017/7/31/tons-free-downloads/
Stunning image, could be hung on the wall and enjoyed by all. Interested to read what you wrote about On1. I use LR and PS but I'm no great fan of Adobe. I have a lot of textures I've accumulated over time and quite a few I've taken myself. People think I'm a tad odd photographing mud, cobble-stones, crappy paint etc, etc.
@golftragic haha! Yep, I photograph textures as well! I just don't call them crappy paint (because they're often my favourites!) I do think that one you get the hang of how it all works, it's not that difficult to create your own. And as I said, when you multiply them from several sources, you'll never be accused of copying anyone!
@gardenfolk I just saw this comment! I'm convinced sufficiently that you won't roll your eyes if I send you a bunch of images I "played with" of Parker Center! Having JUST gotten my tablet & a couple apps, I thought I was *the last person in the world* to be doing this sort of thing! I can't believe people didn't look at this and say, "Oh, I've used that app"! (I won't use anything straight off the tablet, but feel I should mix it up a little further. It's just fun! Will drop you a note soon :)
Beautiful. Glad I'm not the only one who does this. I use Picasa, Photoshop Elements and sometimes still run it through PicMonkey when I upload it to 365! LOL!
