Edit Me Sept 7th Edition

What fun I had with this one.  Barns are one of my favorite subjects and this one is a real beauty.  We were requested to put this in a "all by itself" post, so I am not going to ramble on like I usually do, I will get right to the subject....

Here is the original


And here is my edit....


I do all of my editing in Photoshop Elements 9
  • Created a blank canvas 4x6 and placed image on the canvas cropping some.
  • Lightened up with PE tools
  • Lightened up again and boosted the contrast with Paint the Moon actions
  • Added Florabella Vintage - Sweet Color
  • Added Kim Klassen texture "Stained Linen", 1st layer on soft light 100% opacity, 2nd layer on linear burn at 30% opacity
  • Erased some of the barn & silo's 1st layer of soft light
  • Added Skeletal Mess texture "Get Off My Cloud" to add more color back to the sky.  Reduced the opacity to about 50%. 
  • Added frame by Coffee Shop Blog


My Reflection of Something

And that's all folks...

    Am I missing something here? I don't see the edit on this post, but I did see it at the link. I wanted to see it larger, but it takes me back to the original!

    Would love to see it larger, so I can oooh and aaah!

    Why do you make a blank canvas and place the image on it?
