Lisa- Hello there. Love the frac filter you used to give an already wonderful and beautiful picture just a touch of extra dazzle. Wonderful clarity and lighting. Brilliant colors and spectacular colors.Lisa J. Boulden February 05, 2008
What uplifting comments!Srividya, to achieve this glow, this is what I did: (I'll try to remember as best as possible.)
-I started with a sharp capture of a vibrant dahlia I spotted at Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco.
-Adjusted shadow/highlights in CS2
-decreased background exposure
-Fractalius effect plug-in
-surface blur
-adjust exposure settings
-multiply
-applied Neat Image plug-in
☺ Peace, Lisa
