The fish almost looks like he is in a tree but those are just reflections of the large trees around the pond. Took this image of the colorful Koi in the Asian Bamboo Gardens pond at the Jacksonville Zoo in Florida. Quite a bit of clean up and painting was needed to get the final effect. The Tiff file was then opened in PS and Topaz ReStyle plugin’s Grass Swing preset was selected to bring out all these beautiful fun colors. At this point the image was saved as a tiff and opened in Topaz AI Gigapixel as the size of the monkey was very small in the image – it was enlarged by 2 times. A layer mask was used to paint the monkey back and the overall adjustment was set to 0.54. An Image Adjustment was added and the original image was placed in the Background. Then the Impression Adjustment was added using the default settings and a mask to bring back the monkey and the netting above. This image was done in blue tones first, and Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Studio’s Basic Adjustment and AI Clear were applied. This Coquerel’s Sifaka monkey was having so much fun when I was at the Jacksonville Zoo recently – couldn’t help but smile and watch him. I was surprised how nice the final image came out. The last step involved taking a Composite (stamped) layer into Topaz ReStyle and applying the Surf and Tallow preset. A Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer was clipped to the NYC image and the lines were set to brownish color. #Youtube topaz restyle freeFinally the NYC image (from 20 Free New York Photos Deeezy image 05) was placed underneath – it was reduced to a sketch by using Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Studio’s Black Only II preset set to 48%. Then the image to fill up the portrait is placed on top and set to Lighten blend mode – duplicated and flipped so the words all fill up with the image. #Youtube topaz restyle download(No voice so you have to watch carefully, but he has provided resources to download to follow along – very helpful.) To get the effect, the text (the font is called Adrenaline Brush) has to be set to white and clipped to the selected portrait layer (Unsplash- Portrait of a Young Woman, Florina, Greece by Pete Bellis) and then duplicated, set to black, and moved under the image. #Youtube topaz restyle how toThis time a video called How to Combine Double Exposure and Selective Color Design in Photoshop by Ahmad Salahuddin was followed. Lots going on here but these unusual beauties deserved it!….Digital Lady SydĮnjoyed creating this double exposure in Photoshop – had not done a lot of this so it was fun to try out a new tutorial to see how it went. (See my Luminar Flex – Exactly What is This? blog.) Viveza 2 was used to get the sharpness on the petals correct and what really created the beautiful color look was using Topaz (see sidebar for website link) ReStyle which gave me a better color palette. I won’t go through all the steps, but Luminar (see sidebar for website link) Flex was used to get the sharpness and colors and on a second layer in Flex, Sunrays filter was used – this gives the soft sky effect. The image actually took a very long time to put together since the background had to be totally removed and replaced with a painted one I did in Corel Painter previously. Anyway, since I totally love the color yellow, I had to figure out a way to show them in good form. Leu Gardens has a large row of these gigantic yellow flowers – totally get your attention! They look a bit like, I hate to say it, a large yellow weed. Yes, the Lily is definitely ready for Spring Holiday Extravaganzas. Last step was to use a Levels Adjustment Layer vignette to further enhance the beautiful blossoms. Topaz ReStyle’s Warm Steel Wash preset applied to further enhance the color to the Lily. Some Sharpening was done using the new updated Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Sharpen AI filter and Lucis Pro. These beautiful blossoms were accented with some purple glitter thanks to Kyle’s Concept Brush Small Branch Mix in PS that was converted to a Mixer, thanks to the expertise of Nicolai at Grut Brushes – did you know you can convert any brush into a Mixer by simply clicking on the Mixer brush and ALT+CTRL clicking on a regular brush in the Brushes Panel? That’s what was done here on a New Layer and set to Linar Burn blend mode. Today we are adding an inverted image (CTRL+I in thumbnail – then set to Color blend mode) showing greens and blues instead of the traditional reds and whites to our collection. Have been practicing my Macro Photography recently and decided to give some of my very favorite blossoms a different look.
