Not so long ago, we had a game of posting photos that illustrated proverbs, idioms, folk sayings, etc. This sort of reminded me of the phrase "gilding the lily," so I did:
- Cropped to best bloom
- One layer is turned negative, 100% in Color Mode, serves as base.
- An 80% Dark Gradient layer is second.
- Lily is selected, Cut/pasted, 100% in None Mode
- Another lily Copy is Desaturated, Darkened, 100% in Overlay Mode.
- Each layer is adjusted individually for Color Balance and tone.
