This cyclist ornament was shot with a Lensbaby using a creative aperture attactment which makes any strong highlights into the shape of the cutout you choose. In this case, it’s stars. I then applied the Fractalius filter to smooth down the edges. I typically apply the filter to a layer copy and then mask in what I want. Otherwise, the effect can be too strong.
Ridin’ aroun’ the christmas tree…(sing along) 🙂

Fleabane (a member of the Aster family) got its name from a reputation of killing or driving away fleas. That’s good to know but the plant is few and far between so since I haven’t seen a flea in almost 17 years, there must be something else here in Arizona they don’t like! (Blended with a couple of textures.)

High Dynamic Range was the only way to capture the extreme contrasts of this mid day shot of a cabin at Animas Forks Ghost Town in Colorado. To further contribute to the art look, I added a couple of textures and then used the Oil Paint setting in Pixel Bender.

I shot this and many other images of Dandelion seed heads this past Spring with texture blending in mind. The process is very easy but success can be hit or miss depending on the type and color of texture you use on top of your image. This was one of the rare times when it worked perfectly. I love how it came together.
I applied 4 textures downloaded free from Image Abstraction and Flickr.

I’ve been playing with Elements 9 for a couple of weeks and WOW…has it ever improved! The addition of Layer Masks was the most significant change and a very welcome one for those who enjoy compositing. Each version of PSE has always had excellent help but this version has even more in the form of Guided Editing. This image is an example of being guided. The BEST part of the process is that you’re left with a layered document with which you can continue making changes. In other words, PSE now gives you as much control as you want. CLICK HERE to see some fantastic examples of Out of Bounds images.
