One more... Here's how to really get in trouble with DPC voters:

by the way, the amount you can do with ps is equal to the quality of the original and in this case the original photo is very good, well done on taking it the way you did...

We have a print on our wall, as does she and her husband, and she likes that better than any shot ever taken of her to date.


how did you do this?

Was a lengthy process actually. Took the original and did a vignette in PS first, then did a lot of cloning and overlay brushing. Then did a lighting filter on it and finished it up with the Dreamy plugin.

Was a lot of work, but salvaged a rather crappy candid snapshot.

TLL061 asked me how I got this effect (I assume he meant the borders):



I took the time to write up the instructions but it was too long to post in a message here. So if anyone else would like a copy of the instructions, just email me and let me know.

My favorite is your own soft focus USM. The only think that needles me about it at all is the way the orange trees in the background (framed by the two larger trees) appear cartoony.

Here is my version.

I've been trying some B&W conversions on a few portraits lately, and experimenting a bit with layers and stuff. Anyone have an opinion?

1. Converted to B&W using the channel mixer.
2. New layer, filled with white, partially erased.
3. New high pass filter layer 30.0, soft light blending mode


Same steps, except the high pass filter layer was inverted, and then partially erased.


The original color photo.

Interesting... so you're saying that the softness in the second photo came from inverting the high pass filter, right? (or did you use some other technique to get the softness?)

I'll have to try that out. Thanks for sharing!

That's right. EddyG posted details for the technique in the thread How to achieve soft-focus ? You should also be able to find lots of info on high pass sharpening with a simple google search.

As you can see I don't have to much skill with PS. I wish I did, but here is one and I know it's simple.
