I couldn't figure out what to do with this image I took earlier in the summer. I am curious how you will process this grain!  |

Thanks Tom, I really liked that image as a starter. I tried to create a bit of a twilight effect by using a red-orange gradient with a soft light blend mode and setting of 90% opacity. I'm not sure I succeeded, but I enjoyed playing around with various gradient effects   |

Tom, thanks for this great starter image!
- Ran the file through Topaz Clean.
- Applied a stained glass texture created with this tutorial written by Wendy – Making Stained Glass.

Nice color depth and interest Sydney!
Sepeiana, is it the Topaz Clean that gives the edginess to it? It contrasts nicely with the softer glass undulations.
Frank, is your image from PSE or some other software? whatever, it is a really nice effect; I seem to recall seeing that ball in the import store!

These are all so very good. I especially like your globe, Frank. Tricky starter, very difficult to select anything, one really needs to " thimk", a great exercise. Thanks, Tom.

Ah well, I had an idea that didn't quite pan out, but wanted to share what it came to...  |

I tried a few versions but came up with this one. I used perfect effects in this order - Color Enhance, Dynamic Contrast, Glow, Dynamic Contrast, and High Pass Sharpening.

Very cool Tom - where did you get that beaut frame? Thank you for that sydney! The open window image I grabbed from somewhere "out there". The blue border was just that; expand the canvas size and fill with texture and color. |
