At the Lake Selfie

Just having more fun creating the crazy images from my selfie (about the only one I have actually). Use the same settings as for the previous sailing selfie by creating two versions of the image. One using 55% Brightness in the HSB settings for the subject, and the other using 65% Brightness setting for the background. On subject layer, the subject was selected by using the Quick Selection Tool before running the Generative Fill with prompt Oil Painting. On the Background layer, used the Quick Selection Tool to select the background and in Generative Fill the prompt read Oil Painting Lake Background. Created image layers using the Apply Image command (see my Placing any Photoshop Generative Fill Variation on a Layer Easily blog on how to do this) and then used a layer mask to hide my original image from the background layer. The sunglasses were selected and Generative Fill was used to add in the eyes – prompt Oil Paintng Eyes (and Apply Image also used.) Then painted on several separate layers to clean up. This time Mixers were used mainly. The birds are in a set by Wavenwater. Skylum’s Neo was used to add more tone into the image. Last step was a Black and White Adjustment Layer to adjust the colors just right. Can’t believe how many different looks you can get doing this!…..Digital Lady Syd
