Photoshop Filters
The addition of software filters makes this Prickly Pear heart look extra prickly. (Combination of Topaz filters and Lightroom Presets)

Lemonade
Our digital group is currently participating in an at home photo editing challenge to repair this image or make something creative out of it. With the help of Photoshop’s Clone Stamp Tool, I copied rock texture from another image over the blown out areas and then used a fun technique called Out of Bounds and came up with the second image. Fun stuff!

Fleabane Textured
Fleabane captured at the Flagstaff Arboretum and then grunged up in Photoshop with a few layers of textures. A truly easy process! Here’s a sample of the many free tutorials available on the web: Photoshop Texture Tutorial. If you really enjoy this stuff, you might want to consider taking one of Carol Leigh’s Montage Workshops.

Santa and Cyclists
More of my favorite ornaments but this time I used a Flaming Pear filter called Flexify to enclose them in a glass ball. I added a glass loop on top of the ball, sprinkled some photoshop snow inside and finished with a bevel and drop shadow. Fun stuff 🙂

Tree and Marcus Landslide
This composite contains 6 images with one dating back 10 years. The base is a DroidX black and white shot of a dead tree captured last week in front of the Marcus Landslide. I then added the following images: a Flagstone tile from my patio, a field of dried flowers, a field of grasses, a rusty car door and a silhouette of a raven. (The other bird is a PS brush). Lots of blending, several color and tonal adjustments, a couple of filters applied and voila! You either love or hate this stuff. I obviously love it 🙂

Queens and Sunflowers
A photo of Queen Butterflies taken last week at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Two images of texture were added along with lots of blending and other Photoshop magic. It’s a process that really doesn’t have an end so it’s difficult to stop 🙂

Desert Columbine
Desert Columbine is about half the size of the more common Yellow Columbine we see here at higher elevations. I captured this one at the Flagstaff Arboretum. It is my favorite composition of this plant so far but the exposure wasn’t very good so I used Photoshop to “art it up” a little. The texture in the background is made up of three images I shot of the sidewalk and curb at Hermit’s Rest (Grand Canyon) while I was waiting for the bus. I ended up with about 20 great textures during that wait!

Happy First Day of Summer
To celebrate the first day of summer, here’s a fun creation made with the Flood Filter.
