About the Image(s)
This is an image of the Waccamaw River in South Carolina, which is part of the Intercoastal boat way, at the edge of our subdivision. I decided to play with it, to see if I could make it a bit more than just a documentary image.
The first treatment was with Color Efex Pro, Hi Key. I took the result into Topaz Lab, Textures. There I applied the 1950s Print texture and fooled around with color overlay and different textures. I don't remember which I chose!
After that, I increased the exposure slightly, in the sky and water with an adjustment layer and a mask on that layer. It needed more contrast, so I played with the Black and the White and the Exposure and Contrast sliders, in the Camera Raw filter. Finally, I added a jagged boarder with Color Efex pro.
This round’s discussion is now closed!

There are lots of filters available to give this sort of effect - I used Nik Silver Efex Pro with the antique plate preset and a border, with reduced opacity over the original, but your's was probably more fun and more satisfying. Well done.   Posted: 06/09/2020 15:04:56
