TT- the Red eDition

My niece, Cindy, got me hooked up with Kim Klassen (yeah, I've blogged about her before). Kim has a feature on her blog called Texture Tuesdays. This week I decided to play along as it was the Red eDition- your photo needs to have something red. I only had one problem! What "red" photo to choose as my subject. I thought about red gerbera daisies, my red Japanese maple, Beatrix (of course!), and even a red dahlia but what won out this day was...

RASPBERRIES!



I used so many fun things on this image.

• first- DP Mom's Perfect Workflow action (I almost always start here!)
• then I ran CoffeeShop's Grainy B&W action (and deleted the B&W conversion layer... I just wanted the graininess!)
• added lots of texture layers
• kk_autumn burst- color burn 39%
• kk_and then some- color burn 91%

I love the results!

But, having worked on Beatrix, my friend of almost 12 years, I had to post her here too...



I'm not as happy with my results on this one, but this is what I did-

• first- DP Mom's Perfect Workflow action
• then I ran CoffeeShop's 2-Minute Miracle action
• kk_autumn burst- hard light 40%
• kk_and then some- overlay 49%
• kk_stained linen- multiply 42%

You should go over and check it out...
