| This is the original image, donated by Cathy. Thank you! I absolutely adore this image. The heart in the rock and the people in silhouette are two of the aspects that make this so awesome. |
My formula in Photoshop CS3:
1) Resized the image to fit my blog (800x533).
2) Copied the original layer and auto adjusted color and levels which deepened the color.
3) Ran Pioneer Woman's "Lovely and Ethereal" action. On the Darken Things layer I painted over the rocks to make them darker. I also painted over the water to make the sheen less harsh.
4) My final thought was to add a sky, so I used the sky from my Lake Martin photo. :)

nicely done! i like the darker rocks and the augmented/replaced sky!
ReplyDeleteI like how you intensified the color and contrast!
ReplyDeleteHow beautiful! I love how your edit brings out the heart. This seems to be a lovely meme - I will definitely look into it, as it's also something I haven't done so far! :-)
ReplyDeleteI'm back...because I just read that you added a sky of your own! I'm impressed.....don't know how to do that, myself.
ReplyDeleteLove it! Great editing.
ReplyDeleteOh my goodness. This sounds like such a fun meme. I love how you've edited the original photo.
ReplyDeleteI really like how you chose to keep the original essence of the image and just enhance it to bring out its best elements. Very nicely done! Thanks for playing again!
ReplyDeleteI can't say I even noticed the silhouettes until you pointed them out. And you certainly brought them more into view with your treatment. Well done.
ReplyDeleteMy goodness, Gail, a truly amazing transformation.
ReplyDeleteI love the fact that the heart is so much more visible now.
Beautifully done!
Very impressive! I love the blue sky.
ReplyDeleteI ♥ this!
ReplyDeleteI, too, missed the people until you pointed them out. Your edits made a gorgeous image even gorgeous-er. :)
ReplyDeleteI really like what you did. I don't know how to do these things! I should take a class or something.
ReplyDeleteOh how beautiful *sigh* :) I like the way you intensified the color - beautiful, Gail!
ReplyDeleteHugs,

I really like this edit.....you made the clouds really pop and the color of the sky is beautiful.....
ReplyDeletehi Gail! Wow you made that photo look so different. I didn't know that could be done to someone's photo. See? Learn something new everyday in Blog-land. :D
ReplyDeleteYes, go shopping. Have a great time. When I shop with an open mind and a thought of a specific thing I have a much better time. Yay, go shopping. Can I come?
I love the clouds and sky. The darker rocks and the heart look great. Well done, Gail!
