Endless Possibilities Challenge No. 164 - Villa

Thank you helen.
Unfortunately, the image I used as background was a lot smaller than Villa, so I had to reduce that size.
You may not be able to tell, but in the upstairs window, is the skeleton of his mother.
And downstairs, is the shower scene.

Margaret....saw the shower scene and the skeleton...although I didn't remember it was his mother. Nice work on your newest entry as well.

Off to try what I think you did, Lillias. Don't tell.....yet anyway....I want to see if I can figure it out!

OK.....I am not one to "play" around......follow a tut, a recipe gladly. However, after reading Rita's post above and then seeing Lillias' I decided a little play might have some benefits. Wasn't able to duplicate your results (minus the add-ons....tree etc.) but it did get me to experiment to see if I could come close.

So here's what I got......using PSCC:



And here's how I got there:



What I would have liked to introduce was the blue/yellow color you had in yours.

Don't want to make a lot of work for you but am wondering how did you add the blue/yellow?

The blue or the yellow was just a happy accident as the result of the process I followed working with the photo which was as follows...

I’ve since discovered this doesn’t work for every photo but I think it worked very well for this one.

Using the Smart Brush Tool and from the Photographic Preset section of said tool I chose the Photographic Negative brush and brushed over the whole photo.

In the layers panel you will see the new adjustment layer that was created and I selected that layer and then chose the ‘Difference’ Blend mode to give the result you see. I created a stamped layer and added the two trees and that’s it.

Yours is along similar lines Frank.
