~ Roses Redux ~

Just happened to find time for
Photoshop play this week.
Subject - roses and iris -
from MIL's garden.
This collage culminated from the original image,
as seen below, and adding various
layers and opacities of other images.
Soft, foggy, scripted overlay.
Addition of cooling turquoise filter, affecting
both image color and background.
Bump up the intensity of the filter
ups the hue and saturation.
A background for other collages
created with overlays and
an uncharted pressing of keys
until I "happened upon" this final product.
These roses and irises have such a divine aroma,
and their beauty is unsurpassed.

Thank you for sharing this journey
in digital design.
Trial and error is the method of learning
that has proven most effective.  Though time
consuming, it is by doing
that learning takes place.

Classes?  Perhaps so
There is so much to learn.

  8. Oh, how I wish I could do that!!! It is so beautiful. I just have never been able to master it and still use my old 2006 Microsoft digital image program as that is about all I can learn!!! I am SO glad you could use some images from my little ole' bloggie!! Take care and keep creating for us!!
