Kathryn at Playground

Here is one of the first experiments with texture overlay.
I also ovelayed a warm filter (yellow tint)over the entire picture @ around 25% opacity.

Kat and her craziness.

Old Wedding Photo

Photo of Kathryn and I seconds after saying "yes" instead of "I do". ;)
I keep playing with Photoshop and probably spending too much time on the computer, but I am enjoying the results.
Here I added a texture and overlayed it on the photo.
Turned the photo into yellow saturated, to give it the really old look.
Played with light and darken brushes, diffuse glow, burn edges and sharpen.

Here the final result after playing with Photoshop for about 2 hours.
It took that long because I was switching back and fort between tutorials on the internet and Photoshop.
I'll post the side by side comparison in the post.

Contrast with curves
Touch of light on the skin
Tuouch of darkness for the background and some creases on the skirt

Soft Skin

I still don't enjoy using Photoshop to edit photos, but sometimes I guess it is the only way to achive the effect I am looking for.

I really like the effect and here is the tutorial - Soft skin edit in Photoshop..
