![]() ![]() Lots going on here but these unusual beauties deserved it!….Digital Lady SydĮnjoyed creating this double exposure in Photoshop – had not done a lot of this so it was fun to try out a new tutorial to see how it went. (See my Luminar Flex – Exactly What is This? blog.) Viveza 2 was used to get the sharpness on the petals correct and what really created the beautiful color look was using Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReStyle which gave me a better color palette. I won’t go through all the steps, but Luminar (see sidebar for website link) Flex was used to get the sharpness and colors and on a second layer in Flex, Sunrays filter was used – this gives the soft sky effect. The image actually took a very long time to put together since the background had to be totally removed and replaced with a painted one I did in Corel Painter previously. Anyway, since I totally love the color yellow, I had to figure out a way to show them in good form. Leu Gardens has a large row of these gigantic yellow flowers – totally get your attention! They look a bit like, I hate to say it, a large yellow weed. Yes, the Lily is definitely ready for Spring Holiday Extravaganzas. Last step was to use a Levels Adjustment Layer vignette to further enhance the beautiful blossoms. Topaz ReStyle’s Warm Steel Wash preset applied to further enhance the color to the Lily. Some Sharpening was done using the new updated Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Sharpen AI filter and Lucis Pro. These beautiful blossoms were accented with some purple glitter thanks to Kyle’s Concept Brush Small Branch Mix in PS that was converted to a Mixer, thanks to the expertise of Nicolai at Grut Brushes – did you know you can convert any brush into a Mixer by simply clicking on the Mixer brush and ALT+CTRL clicking on a regular brush in the Brushes Panel? That’s what was done here on a New Layer and set to Linar Burn blend mode. Today we are adding an inverted image (CTRL+I in thumbnail – then set to Color blend mode) showing greens and blues instead of the traditional reds and whites to our collection. Have been practicing my Macro Photography recently and decided to give some of my very favorite blossoms a different look.
