Creative interpretations: San Diego Market

[DannyRaphael]

San Diego is a lovely California city on the Pacific Ocean, just north of the U.S./Mexico border. This photo by T.Hinov is of one of the local fresh produce markets.

Happy creations.

Steps:

Crop
Rough pastels, poster edges filters, faded
Painter- driving rain autoclone
PS- selective sharpening

[DannyRaphael]

Driving rain autoclone? It doesn't (usually) rain in California!

On mine... Three layers rendered by Impressionist styles (no setting changes... just the defaults) on copies of the Background.
1. Charcoal: Default (add a "hide all" layer mask)
2. Conte: Faithful (add a "hide all" layer mask)
3. Pencil Sketch: Soft Detailed

Starting with layer 2, set foreground color to white, choose Brush tool, turn on airbrush option, Flow ~ 30%, Opacity ~ 60%, click on the layer mask thumbnail to activate the layer mask and start airbrushing to gradually reveal some of the rough strokes of layer 2. Then, repeat these steps on layer 1 to "fill in any holes" you deem necessary.

Cheers...

hence so many posts from moi at the moment!

I really love photos like this and this technique brings out the smallest details in the background so had to try it out again on this photo.
