Queen Emma Lily Bulbs

The image above is an image taken of the large seeds from my large Queen Emma Crinum Lily plant. They are laying on my sidewalk which gave a great background texture for the image. Very little was done to this image in Lightroom. In PS an Adobe Paper Texture Pro texture called Brushed Rose was added and set to Multiply blend mode at 70% layer opacity. Then the image was taken into Topaz Studio 2 and Impression was applied. I used settings by Shannon Rose in her blog called Created Imagery Driven by Imagination with Topaz Studio a while back which gave an acrylic effect (these settings were saved as a preset with the Impression filter). The only change made was to increase the Yellow Saturation a little more to 0.62. Back in Photoshop a Color Lookup Adjustment Layer using the Crisp Warm Look at 62% opacity was added. Finished off with both a Levels and a Curves Adjustment Layers. Not a whole lot here but the Impression gave a great painterly feel!…..Digital Lady Syd
