Very nice capture and I like the filter(s) you used. Which filter did you select to give it that "dreamy" look?
|
||||||||||
|
|
|||||||||||
|
Nicole Kessel |
Thanks Wayne. I used a combination of filters on this one. I still have to apply the effects to the original file. I was just playing around with the smaller version. So unfortunately, I don't really remember. Once I pull out the original and work on it I'll let you know if I can achieve the same results. I know I used a combination of gaussian blur, diffuse glow, dodge and burn, as well as some filter from virtual photographer. I'm glad you like it! :)

Thanks very much for the nice comments, Karen and Cathy! Karen, I use what I like to call an artistic approach when digitally enhancing an image. I just keep applying different filters and effects until I get the look I'm going for. Kind of like working on a painting. So, I don't recall the exact steps but, I will email you what I remember. Thanks again!
