This is the first week that Paper ♥ Camera is hosting TuT. I hope you'll join in the fun over there. :)
Here's the picture I'm using this week:
It was a cool butterfly, and I had to snap quickly!!
First, I cropped the image.
Then, I converted a copy to sepia tones.
In PhotoStudio I pasted the sepia version over the colour version, reduced opacity to 70%, and erased the sepia over the pink flower and the butterfly.
Sharpened, rounded the corners, and added a little pink touch to the whited-out petals on the flower. I also blurred the background a little more.
I like the way it turned out. :) What do you think?
I love it! Great job!
ReplyDeleteVery creative. You are talented. :)
ReplyDeleteThis might be my all-time fave that you have done. Really exceptional job! The cropping alone is brilliant; really allows you to focus on the butterfly, and the whole sepia toning...phenomenal! I'm impressed! Looks awesome! :-) (I've never tried sepia over a color image and then reducing opacity. I'll have to try that). Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat last one is fantastic. Great crop. I love reducing opacity with black and white or sepia overlays. It's always so nice!
ReplyDeleteI reeeeeally love the final edit!
ReplyDeleteOh wow - that looks really great. I love your final edit.
