JANUARY 5: Photo Treatment

I used a vcso preset that I have never used to replicate a film look (I have a few I really like and always come back to even after trying a couple of new ones). Plus I kept the grain in the photo - a big gasp! for me. It is harder to see in the web sized version but trust me, I notice it, lol!

 

My photo treatment was to do stained glass. The picture is of my Christmas Tree.

 

I used the high key photo effect in PSE11, I never realized all the photo effects that were available!

 

I made some adjustment using Instagram and the added a small halftone.

 

Day 5: Photo treatment (PicTapGo and Instagram apps)

Go Your Own Way

 

Finally got back to this one! I really wanted to do a page with your cool halftone effect, but didn't have quite the right picture for it. I still tried it and learned how to do it, so thanks for that! In the end I decided to run an action on these pics to give them a soft hazy beachy look. LOVE how this turned out too. I wouldn't have normally taken the time to do that on these pictures, so I'm thrilled that this challenge pushed me to do it!

 

Huh... I can't see a comment box for hers either. Weird!

 

I used several filters and blending modes:

 

I used your halftone tutorial and tweaked it a little bit to make the dots feel pixel-ey.

 

I ran a mix of actions on the photo and then I even ran one on the entire layout!

 

I used Pic.Tap.Go for the coloring of the photo, and then used the halftone treatment in photoshop as described to jazz this photo up.

 

Yay RadLab!

 

I used a matte preset in Lr that I don't usually use - I often stick with a clean look, but I thought the matte type look fit my photo

 

I used 3 radlab filters that I don't normally use:

 

I actually tried NOT to use halftone but I actually ended up using that (as well as a few other in the filter gallery, B&W and camera filters) I think this is one of the most processed photos I've done/used in quite some time

 

I lost a week due to a visit from a nasty virus knocking out my family and two massive editing projects for work (ugh!). But this was a great challenge to get my mojo back. I used the challenge tutorial (had never tried that). I duplicated my photo 2xs and then applied the following photo treatments: 1. Middle layer: Poster Edges filter and then Overlay at 72% opacity, 2. Top layer: Half-tone pattern and then Screen at 54% opacity.

It came out much softer/muted than I'm used to scrapping so I went with muted colors for the LO. Thanks for a great challenge!
