try and try again

after yesterdays post
i was wondering "how did i do that?"
it's been 2 years since i created that one
i've learned a lot since then
one thing is to save every stage!
so i figured since i did it once i could do it again
first step, find the pictures i used
one was from alcatraz ( a great source for decay)
and the second from a light house near pacifica
just outside san francisco
second step , which i always do
play with the hue/saturation
the brightness/contrast
and shadows/highlights
plus i aways have to see what a picture looks like in b/w

step 3 is adding color
just for fun and to give some contrast
step 4 layer one on top of the other and
use the "multiply" blending mode
find the right positioning and crop and save
then the fun begins
i love to try on every mode
just to see what happens
below are just a few alternatives from the original


you never know what will happen after playing in ps

Love the step by step tutorial. I'm always forgetting how I did something and then waste time trying to get back there.
