I was looking through my files for an image to process for Texture Tuesday. I found this image of makeup brushes. It's a full color image, but I decided to experiment with it in Lightroom.
I added Kim's Dark Day and Quiet Dreams presets. Then I took it into Topaz Adjust to return a bit of detail and add a border... then back to LR for a slight vignette and a bit of grain. I wanted it to look like an old Hollywood photo.
Below I added Kim's Word texture blend mode color burn at
52% opacity.
More Texture Tuesday here. You'll get to see Kim's post about her article in Stampington's "Artful Blogging" publication. Congrats, Kim!

Sometimes it's easy to overlook the everyday beauty around us. I love this!
You've put years on it :-)
Amazing how we can bamboozle viewers with textures.
I wonder what a preset is.
The container the brushes are in is very pretty. I think the second photo looks even more vintage than the first ,but both are lovely.
Great edit and it does look vintage.
What fun you had with your brushes! I find it so hard to take color out of a photo but this was the perfect photo prop for that experimentation.
Terrific Marilyn,
you do amazing photo work!
Very cool image- love the look of old Hollywood! Nice processing!
I love how these effects age the image and add such drama too!
I like what you've done here!

These are wonderful, Marilyn.
I love the contrast in both.
what fun! it does look like an old hollywood photo - great job!
The Word texture really makes this image interesting! And what a great subject. I just shopped for new makeup and noticed the brushes cost more than the makeup!
Oooh!! These are wonderful. I think the second one is my favourite - love all that texture.
Very interesting textures, I like the second one!
Wonderful processing !!
I love the muted tones you ended up with! Great texture on the second one too!
Great processing--the images are beautiful!
nice brushes and texture too!
Great texturizing here. It really feels like an old movie star's dressing table. Maybe Carole Lombard or Claudette Colbert. :)
