I lost track of some of what I did in the beginning, but somehow, after giving it a new crop, I pretty much had a silhouette with a deep rosy color. And I layered that with a B&W image and merged those two layers. I then boosted the saturation and used the Cutout Filter. With the Black and White pic I used the accented edges effect, layered those two. Last, I boosted the gamma and the curves tool gave it more clarity. Then, I overlayed another image layer over that of a photo I took a couple of years ago of some concert lights.
Linking up with Robyn’s Captivate Me Blog for the One Four Challenge. Check it out to see more great photographs for this challenge.

Thanks Lynne! It’s actually easy peasy to layer in PS.

🙂 I guess we all learn differently – I’ve never been able to figure it out. I don’t find PS user friendly at all which is what I love about Sagelight. I was able to just go in and start doing – low learning curve.

Wow, so different! I kept getting drawn back to look at this image repeatedly. It’s really interesting. At first I didn’t think I was going to like it, but the more I looked, it grew on me. Good work! Eager to see where you take it next!

Wow, that’s a really odd effect! Love the experimentation you did, but it’s a bit too out there for me – love the serenity of Week1. I bet you had heaps of fun though, and that’s the main thing!

This is very cool and dramatic. Personally I prefer the peacefulness of week one, but I do like this a lot. It’s almost like an entirely new photograph with the layering.
