![]() ![]() ![]() In Lightroom used Seim’s (see sidebar for website link) PW4’s Magic Harsh Sun Flare Fixer preset and then his Radispot preset (radial filter was placed on Mickey’s head) to get as much contrast as possible between the colors. That is when I decided to use Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Impression to get Mickey to stand out. I loved this image but it presented a real problem since the trees behind Mickey were essentially the same color as the topiary. In honor of Epcot‘s International Food and Wine Festival, this Mickey Mouse topiary greets you at the entrance. Anyway, totally fun but it did take a little time to get it right.Ĭheck out my Fun Photoshop blog this weekend for the same image but done totally with Topaz plug-ins in Photoshop….Digital Lady Syd The Painter image was saved as a psd file and taken into Photoshop where another Topaz ReStyle preset – my favorite Cream and Plum (you can really see the tones in this image) – was used along with Nik Viveza 2 to emphasize the boat a little more to finish up. I am finding the Iterative saves are actually handy to have since I needed to go back to one due to some painting mistakes. I will say that there were 13 iterative saves before I got to this final image. The original colors were totally different to what is shown, but that is half the fun of painting! While in Painter I actually used Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReStyle’s Cool and Clear preset with a few changes to get a different color scheme before painting the image. Since I have not been to Venice in a long time, a free image from Free Images (used to be Stock.Xchng and image is linked) was selected to paint. Not exactly like Melissa’s beautiful images, but I think I am starting to get a style. Just another Corel Painter image created following Melissa Gallo’s terrific Painter for Photographers instructions. The frame is from a new Photoshop plug-in I just got called Smart Photo Editor that does some very interesting things to an image beside making great borders! Happy Halloween everybody!….Digital Lady Syd ![]() I started my Halloween theme starting with my friend Carol at Graphix1’s Halloween Clipart PSD – these are really nice objects that can be moved into your document (check out her blog too – lots of nice free goodies there!) Lots of layer styles and some painting were added to image along with French Kiss’s (see sidebar for website link) Spatter 4-14 brush and 2 Lil’ Owls (see sidebar for website link) Texture called Sweet Musing 11 set to Color Dodge blend mode. ![]() That is why there is a Tree in the image and some flames around my type layer of lettering – had to rasterize the lettering to get it line up right though, then added the Pen Path and Flames. Perfect for a Halloween creation! I just listened to Terry White’s video called Check Out 3 New Filters in Adobe Photoshop CC and applied a couple of his clever techniques. The background on this image was a totally blown image taken on one of the rides at Epcot but the colors were so striking, I kept it. It seems like I always have to do a Halloween image every year – they are so much fun to do! This year was no exception. ![]()
