No particular theme today.
We are instructed to use any texture of Kim's and have fun! I was testing my little Coolpix point and shoot to see how close I could get with the macro setting. Pretty close but of course, nothing like a real macro lens. I took this photo of one of my "true geraniums" and doctored it with Kim's "Lily" texture and Pixlr.
The original first.....
The original first.....
Then + "Lily" texture
I opened the file and hit Cmd J to duplicate, then used hue blend 100%. I added one layer of "Lily" desaturated on hard light 86% and then a second layer of "Lily" (normal color) on lighter color 82%. That's basically it.
and then I had some fun in Pixlr
Almost as much fun as Picnik!!
It truly feels like Spring here - the sun has been out all day! Yay!!!!
...a really sweet result Marilyn; isn't it fun playing with graphics?!

I think your camera did a good job with the close ups. I especially like the first photo with "Lily" added - truly wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt turned out really beautiful with "Lily". I've never tried pixlr before, thanks for the link. :)
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing all your steps! These are beautiful! One of the best parts of spring is seeing everyone's floral images.
