What Would You Do #125

This was a lovely photo without much room for improvement, so I went with something abstract.

In Paint Shop Pro:
  • Cropped the image slightly.
  • Duplicated the original image and applied noise reduction.
  • Applied the High Pass edge effect, then adjusted brightness/contrast.
  • Duplicated the layer and applied the Find All edge effect, adjusted brightness contrast, and set the new layer to Multiply.
  • Added two duplicate layers of the original image, one set to Overlay, the other to Soft Light.
  • Adjusted layer visibilities until I was happy with the result.
  • Merged the layers and applied some additional noise reduction.
