Learned the Orton effect today,this may be quite useful for a time to come. I know this may be overboard but hey I'm artistic...Or in my case autistic!LOL Hope you enjoy the rich colors P.S. View full screen to enjoy
Aaaaaaahhhh the Orton effect well have fun with it Doug it's a nice effect to play around with. Nice to play around with if you work in layers as well.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
You can reduce the opacity of the layer or you can do a curves adjustment afterwards, Doug. I want to check out the video link above too. I always liked the Orton effect. It is a little like HDR and it brings out the colors and light too. Nicely done.
Some people have Gurus, I have my camera. Through the cam lenses I have learnt to deeply perceive life, not only to see, but to look at all expressions of nature, becoming able to read the poetry of the flowers, receiving the embrace of the trees and flying above the clouds without wings! - Susie Sun
