Photoshop Creative

Yup, it's that time again!

My turn again with a couple of shots from last year to play with.









You know the rules.

ACR or Lr only, with a couple of flips into Photoshop for basic adjustments.

You know me – I never break the rules, just bend em a little on the edges.

O.K., so some times I bend them a lot.

Tell us what you did and have fun!

Raw images here

One to get things going.

This is a Rust preset and a little adjustment for brightness.

Like that, John. Will be working on mine soon.

Thanks Suzi,

Here is one for the horse!

Sorry, John, that I am late with these. This one I wanted sooooooooooooo bad to do more in CS3 but I was a very good girl and didn't. All I did was crop. Just might later, for fun.

On this one, I was a little bit of a haughty girl...did a matt preset nostalgic and then ran it through redynamix, that all. Just one little cheat. That bird and I are having a love, hate relationship right now. Can't quite get the look I am after.

Suzi,

Like the silhouette effect with the trees.

Cheat if you must and confess what you did, we wont poke fum at you. no sir (ma'am), not us.

Here is the bird the way I like him!

I finally had time to play with LR and ACR. Sorry for not contributing for some time but my wife had to have a knee replaced and we have been busy with that.
Anyhow, I applied the Direct Positive Preset in LR and then played with the sliders attempting to get a late afternoon look. Went to ACR and changed the Clarity and Vibrance. Then to PSE 6 and applied a Canvas texture. Hope this meets all the rules and regulations of the challenge.

Gary,

Hope your Wife's knee is coming along.

I like the look and what you have done with the picture. May be a little outside of the "rules", but what the heck.

Keep at it!

Garry, good to see you here!!! Hope your wife is recovering nicely. Rules are made to be broken, right, John
