One photo - three creative edits in Luminar Neo and Photoshop

 Creating Three Moody Images out of One Shot I initially didn't plan to create three or more different images out of this photograph. I wanted to see how I can edit this foggy somehow chaotic forest image in Luminar Neo. I liked the atmosphere and I can still recall the morning I took this photo. I knew I had to make a lot of chnages , because of all the distracting twigs on the left and right hand side as well as at the top of the frame. First Step - Editing in Luminar Neo I usually develop my images in Lightroom Classic  but decided to use Luminar Neo this time because I wanted to see how their various creative in part AI powered tools inspire me.

Free Texture Wednesday VI

Hello,
currently I am very busy creating a pack  of new textures. I am trying to make them easier to use. Which means, that I have to invest  more time and experimentation in their creation to make them better.
To bridge the time until I finally can release them, here's a  free texture, that I created in the process.

I used "Orange Corner" to process an old pic I shot on a trip to Madeira. Move over the picture to see a before/after.

Additionally I made a hardcopy of the layers in Photoshop. This didn't need much tweaking. I only used the texture on two layers. First to tone it a bit more yellow using multiply. that made it a bit too dark so I added a second layer of the texture and used the Vivid Light blend mode to make it brighter.

     

That's all for today!

See you soon.
