Attic Treasure [Boy Photos]
Uploaded: May 09, 2012 06:03:49
This adorable young boy is the grandson of BetterPhoto member Linda Ruiz. She brought him to a recent Civil War reenactment, where I took this photo of him.
On the original photo I applied the "Opaline" texture from French Kiss, which I erased off of him and his clothing using the Healing Brush Tool in Photoshop. I desaturated the image and then dropped it into this new texture/overlay that I am testing for French Kiss. Finally, I lightly applied some French Kiss grunge brushes to complete the aged look. This new texture will be available soon with other textures and frames that will be perfect for that vintage look.

Thank you all for the comments. A lot of credit has to go to Leslie Nicole of French Kiss. She is continually producing amazing textures that make our photographic life a whole lot easier. #10130785Debra K. Johnson May 10, 2012
