Some Of My Images Used As Book Covers - before and after Part 2

 Book Covers - Before and After Part 2 Some time ago I created a post showing some of my images used as covers for books.  I am always curious how my wok is used, sometimes I am disappointed, but most of the time it is a pleasure to see the designs and the usage. So here we go: In these cases my original image hasn't been changed that much, most of the time only a crop and of course title and author.  Sometimes it is hard to make out my own design as you can see in this image:  My images are available for licensing through my agencies Trevillionimages   and   Arcangel Images or find something on my home page. Thanks very much. Dirk

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
