It's Saturday and time for another new Creative Effects Challenge.
First off however, I want to thank Mike (verber10 ) for having been part of our little CE Challenge team for past 6 months or so. Mike delighted us with some great challenges, and his last one was a superb finish. You will be missed Mike!!
With that being said, we are now down to 2 in our CE Challenge team and we are looking for more volunteers to run this challenge every 2 weeks. If you have never done anything like this before, don't be shy, as neither Tom, Mike or myself had any previous experience in running a challenge. So, if you want to give this a go or have some questions on what would be involved, please message me and I will be happy to answer your questions.
Today's challenge is to create an Infrared-like photo.
It helps if your starter image contains some sky, but don't let that stop you. As ever, experimentation is the key to this.
I started with this image, which I processed from RAW in LR5 to give it a sort of HDR feel.
It took me a while to find a video that was actually for Elements, as most of them use Photoshop and the Channel Mixer, which is not available in Elements.
This video from Kim Seng starts off in Photomatix to create the HDR feel, but you can use whichever photo editing software you like. He then takes it into Photoshop Elements 9 to create the finished Infrared photo.
I followed all his steps, but found that my photo needed some extra attention, so I added a Levels layer to get my final look.
So, let's see what great Infrared images you can come up with.
