I'm working on the set of cards I want to make and have decided to make a set of Angel cards for the first series.
I'm finally working out how incredible layer masks are in PS. I don't know how I ever missed learning about these!
I've saved the raw processing settings which softens the image to begin with before I am then applying the same texture, that I made.
Even though there are a lot of differences in each starting image, I'm hoping to end up with a fairly consistent feel to the textured result.
I guess as the week goes on and I work on this I will know how successful the consistency efforts work out to be.
This is going to be so interesting to follow Katrina. I don't have PS - just an old edition of Microsoft Digital Image Pro. I can usually make it do just about anything PS does if I try hard enough. So, if you don't mind, I might see if I can copy your effect on something? It's such a nice, dreamy look with the background supporting the image instead of distracting from it. :)
I miss her ears too and sometimes I like seeing a little more detail on the hair but it doesn't sound like that's your goal. This shot seems to emphasize how cute her nose is to me. Your series is going to look really nice!
Wonderful idea. Always fun to learn a new photo editing technique. You recognize Angel from her nose pattern of course, but I missed it because I recognize her by her ears.
Interesting play!
@robz oh interesting! you can do layers and masks with that software? I will look forward to seeing what you come up with - copy the concept away! :)
