The Mighty Dragonfly

Image of a dragonfly

Had some fun giving this guy new background. The original background e was pretty much out of focus the image was shot at F5/6, and so a splash brush was used on a layer above to add some texture over the original background. (See my recent How to Use a Spatter Brush for a Background Effect blog for how to do this.) Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Sharpen AI was used to sharpen just the dragonfly. Some Dodging and Burning and Spotlight Effect was used on him. Last step was a Gradient Map Adjustment Layer using just reds and warm cream color. ….. Digital Lady Syd
