Here's the shot before my edit:

And here is what I came up with:
1. Levels Adjustment Layer - pulled the outside sliders in just a bit
2. Hue/Saturation Layer - yellows +10; greens +10; magentas +10
3. Brightness/Contrast Layer - lowered the opacity to 25%
4. Flatten
5. MCP's Touch of Light/Touch of Darkness Action - darkened some of the petal edges as well as the center of the flower
6. Love That Shot's Serendipidity photo veil - soft light - erased off center of flower
7. Love That Shot's Paris texture - soft light - overlay - erased off flower
8. Slight sharpen
9. Save

ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous edit! I love that you made the colors more vibrant, without making them too bright. Just lovely!
ReplyDeleteSo pretty! Thanks for the "recipe"!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful edit and love the texture! This was a fun one to edit! :)
ReplyDeleteFantastic play! I love the rich, vibrant colors and the subtle textures. I ♥ Love That Shot and their photo veils (use them a lot myself). I have that texture but haven't used it, but this edit makes me want to go play with it. :-)
