I am amazed how much diff it actually looks than just the glam glow in NIK filters.. been messing around with the original on bottom and erasing thru some places for diff effects... Ohhh so much fun!!!

LOL. Guess I'll take the "I'm in ... and it's frickin outstanding! Lovin it. It'll probably pull in a ribbon for sure (the BROWN one!)".

Using Lights-series masks with the Orton Effect augments the glow by restricting it to visually appropriate tones (the light tones) just as using Darks-series masks with sharpening procedures confines that effect to the most effective tones (the dark tones). So choosing the right luminosity mask helps certain Photoshop techniques to work better. For the Orton Effect, Light-series masks provide the proper selection." from Good Light Journal.

Thanks for that Brennan. Good enough info to put this thread on "Watch" mode so I can come back and check this out later.

I agree but i figure, when in Rome etc. After a while i gave up trying to make an image i was happy with and just went hell for leather on it. It made my eyeballs bleed a bit and i feel nauseus looking at it but it's actually quite interesting making such a vertigo inducing effect. I think it might even be possibe to weaponise it for the military. They could air drop postcards down on ISIS or something.

1. Open original image in PS
2. Copy the image in a new layer now go to edit menu and click on "Apply image" next popup screen select background in the first drop down and second dropdown screen
3. Now copy into new layer (Contrl+J, CMD+J)
4. Go to filter menu and click on Gaussian blur and keep the value such that it looks really blurry
5. select the blurry image and select "Multiply" and now play with opacity to get the effect.


It took me a while to find the "Apply Image"...step 2 should be:

I think I tweak almost all my photos with the Orton effect... Hmmm... now if it will stop pouring down rain this week :(
 03/04/2015 04:14:15 PM · #16
Thanks for all the input here. Never heard about this before, but I like the effect.
 03/03/2015 09:15:22 PM · #17

see Bear's response to my question above. doing it with single capture is legal.


Thank you!!!

I am still having issues with this challenge, I think I am making it harder on myself than I need it to be.

As of now, I have shot 5 different things and am really not caring for the last effect of these at all.

I am not giving up yet though :-))

The issue with combining multiple exposures in-camera is that typically you won't have valid, exif-bearing originals for each of the images.


But surely the lens cap on double exposure in a single exposure is allowed

It used to be and has been tested I think in a few challenges

Absolutely. What's currently not allowed is where the camera's processor combines individual exposures into a single frame.

Went with a different shot from the same shoot as another current challenge, edited to suit more or less.

Would like to have tried the focus stacking thing, but not planning any excursions to scenic places in the next few days and the weather's been crummy.

I am struggling with this one. I have experimented with some shots I took this weekend. It is adding an "effect", but it just isn't adding anything positive to the image. I am afraid I failed to capture appropriate source material.


I'm here, Mark :)

Go for it anyway. Pick a totally inappropriate subject and Orton the crap out of it. Might as well just have a little fun. (This assumes there is an appropriate subject... I have no idea.)
