WEBINAR REGISTRATION OPEN!

Join me on Tuesday, September 15th at 4:00 pm EDT for
“Behind the Creative Process”

In this webinar I will take several images and show how I decide on which textures to use (including the ones I rejected)! I will take you ‘inside my thought process’ as I determine the direction to take a photo. I’ll be using textures, Topaz and Luminar in my processes.

Here is a tutorial where I used
a few of the new textures! I will also demonstrate this in the webinar.

Here is a rose image with my basic adjustments done in Lightroom:

I first brought in “Splotches 4” from the Streaks & Splotches set. I lowered the opacity to around 40% so that I could see the rose. I added a layer mask and masked the texture off of the flower, leaves and stem. I then raised the opacity of the texture layer back to 100%, leaving the blending mode at Normal.

I then added the “Pastel Wall Texture with White Border 1” from the Textured Pastel set. I copied the mask from the first texture layer by holding the ALT key and dragging the mask from the first layer to the new one (Option key on a Mac). I changed the blending mode to Soft Light and the Opacity to 58%.

Lastly, I added the “Tan – Smoky Edges” texture from the Borders set, changing the blending mode to Multiply and the Opacity to 80%. I did not use a layer mask on this layer.
