Look Up!

Image of Glass Dome at the Waverly Train Station in Edinburgh, Scotland.

Sometimes you see something really spectacular if you just Look Up! This glass dome structure is located at the Waverley Railway Station (cc1866) in Edinburgh, Scotland. I did not think much about the image, but started playing around with it this week, and got a pretty interesting result. Just regular workflow in Lightroom. In Photoshop used the Luminar (see sidebar for website link) Flex filters – these are really fabulous, especially if you want sharp details. Details Enhancer and Structure filters were used to get that sharpness. It was converted to a black and white in Flex also and back in Photoshop set to the Darken blend mode. A PS Photo Filter Adjustment Layer using a Cyan Filter at 46% Density was added and set to 59% layer opacity. Then my favorite Grut Cloud Brush Set were used in a new layer to add the white clouds above the dome. To remove the clouds from the dome form, a Blend If Layer Style – Underlying Layer was used so the darker dome lines popped back. Last step was Viveza 2 to add a little brightness to the dome to pop it. Not sure how I missed this image!…..Digital Lady Syd
