Winter Edit With Texture Overlays in Luminar Neo Including Two Free Textures

 Last January we had some days with snow and people were rushing out to have some fun with it before all melted away, which is often the case were I live.

New Vintage Grunge Textures and Summer 18 Promotion

Hello

I have just released a new package of grunge textures that come with a big 25% discount on all my textures and texture packs.






For a closer look at the individual textures go Vintage Summer Grunge Pack


In case you are interested in purchasing any of my texture packs you can benefit from a

25% discount 

until Friday July, 6, 2018 by using the code 
SUMMER18 

at the check out.



I have applied two of the textures on the following image. Please move your mouse over the image to see a before/after effect. Please check out the screenshot of the PS layers for more information.




   





To lessen the effect of the silver blue texture on the light misty part, I have applied a layer mask and 
painted with a soft brush at 50% opacity until I was satisfied with the result. To achieve the grunge texture effect in the dark parts I used the second texture in blend mode Luminosity, that way I got the structure without altering the tones of the image. 
Finally I had to correct the contrast with a Curves layer.

Hope you enjoy summer, my textures and your day. 
If you have any questions please contact me!
Dirk
