Rachel and the Red

by Tim Dempsey on December 18, 2007

Rachel preferred this photo from the dinner; so I put it through PhotoShop for her.  Details on the processing below…

This image got what has become my standard for "Orton."  I load up the RAW image, apply the usual levels and curves adjustments.  Not much of either in this case.

I create two duplicate layers: to the first I apply the "screen" blending mode, to the second I apply both the "Gaussian Blur" filter, and the "multiply" blending mode.  I make final adjustments to the background layer to get the levels just right, flatten the image, and publish.
