Used Shadowhouse Creations Old Photo 2 set to Overlay blend mode to add the little framing detail around the side and upper edges by adding a black mask and just painting back the areas I wanted. Then applied Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Impression and the Iris Blur filter in Photoshop. On a New Layer some clean up was done first. Then in Photoshop I followed this nice little video that Thomas Churchwell shared called Topaz Impression Tutorial to get this final result. In Lightroom the eyes were sharpened using the Adjustment Brush set to Clarity and Sharpen. Wish I had taken this beautiful modeling image of my daughter-in-law, but at least I have it to try some nice post-processing effects on. Whew! But overall it does have a distinct look and I really like it……Digital Lady Syd A layer mask was added and the center was painted out so the image was not too dark in the focal point area. The last step added Shadowhouse Creations vintage postcard texture set to Hard Light at 85% layer opacity. ![]() A Curves Adjustment Layer was added to add contrast back into the image.

On a duplicated layer Nik’s Analog Efex Pro 2 was applied. First in Lightroom Seim’s (see sidebar for website link) Super Her X and Warm Classic presets were applied along with Delnea’s Backlight Vertical Left preset. ![]() Here is another example of using them together.

This image was taken at Epcot, Disney World, Florida. Last step involved adding a little sharpening on the whole crab in Nik Viveza 2 by increasing the Structure and Contrast sliders……Digital Lady Syd A Text Layer was added and the Architects Daughter font was used. Painted back the crab and some of the surrounding sand. Created a stamped layer (CTRL+ALT+SHIFT+E) and added Nicky Laatz,s paper 12.
