Beachside Babe
Layout for the newsletter on the theme of 'feelings of summer'. TFL!
Description from the newsletter:
Say to me ‘perfect summer’ and I picture an idyllic tropical beach with crystal blue sky and sea, and white sand. Now unfortunately we don’t have many of those here in the UK, but I do have plenty of beach photos that are grey and dull! So to create my ‘perfect summer’ layout I had to be a bit creative with my grey photo. I applied 2 adjustment layers to my photo (Brightness/Contrast and Curves). Using them both together completely washed my photo out, but by creating a layer mask on the Curves layer that ‘erased’ my son, then duplicating and inverting (CTRL + I) that mask on the Brightness/Contrast layer (to erase everything BUT my son) I achieved a ‘whiter’ look to my background but kept the vibrancy of my son. Add a couple of sunbursts and I have the ‘perfect summer’ beach photo!
