mouse over to see the before image


oh my goodness, i sure do love phoebe fly catcher...  wonderful...  truly!!
so glad to hear you are digging in the dirt again...soaking up the sun!! the breeze is a little strong...but that'll help keep you cool. :)

anyhow, onto this image....

i used my new 'crackle love' texture... too. :)
i also used a new, soon to be released, texture, 'stamped'...
more on it later. :)


this was super basic processing....but i love the warm feel the texture and adjustments added.
oh, i took this pic this morning from the front porch, while andy and i were soaking up some warm air and sunshine... i love that my little plum tree made it's way into the frame. :)
.....
so here's the scoop...


i applied a levels adjustment to lighten the image...
then i added my soon to be released texture 'stamp'... it created the warmth. 100% soft light
next i added my 'crackle love' texture. multiply at 32% (love the effect on the stones in the right corner)
and finished it off with a final levels adjustment.


.....


and that's it my friend... hope you are having a most glorious day...
catch ya soon....xxo, kim
