Description

ISO 200 - 1/125 @ f/8. Three light high key set up, with 2 on background and third for main light, with large white foam core reflecting for fill. In PS CS2 I texturized the portrait using another image by copying and pasting it over the original. Then changed the layer blend mode to overlay. Then add a layer mask and use a brush and removed the texture from her, changing the opacity of the brush as I wanted. Then I added another layer of swirls from some brushes I have and changed the opacity of that layer to my liking. Finally converted to sepia. Thanks for looking.

This is way too cute:) How did you convert this? And how did you do the background? I love it! #796729

I texturized the portrait with another image by copying and pasting it over the original. Then changed the layer blend mode to overlay. Then add a layer mask and use a brush and removed the texture from her (you can change the opacity of the brush to suit you likes). Then I added another layer of swirls from some brushes I have and changed the opacity of that layer to my liking. Than flattened the image and converted to sepia. I found a great blog site that shows how to do this, here is the link to it http://phauntactions.blogspot.com/2007/08/texturing-tutorial.html. I just added to it with the last step. #5141448
