This is our Ari. He's a little crazy and barks REALLY loud, but a sweet boy most of the time. Jonah loves him...the feeling is not quite mutual...yet. He's not sure what to think about a baby that can now chase him!
I'm a big fan of a little haze in photos! I think that's why I love back lighting so much. (Did you see my post on back lighting on Paper Heart Camera?) This method of adding a little haze works for color and black and white conversions very nicely! I learned the first part from Mom Tried It.
- In Photoshop go to Adjustments > Exposure > Move the Offset tab to the right just slightly and you will immediately see a little haze in your photo.
- Then, I like to flatten my image > make a duplicate > filter > other > High Pass > Set to 20ish > OK > Convert layer to Soft Light > adjust opacity to taste. This adds back a little definition without taking away your haze.
There are probably 100 different ways to do this, but this is one I personally like...for now.

Nice edit, I will have to see how much of this I can accomplish in PSE. Joining you from edit me challenge
ReplyDeleteBeautiful Edit! :) nice and clean!
ReplyDeleteLove it, that trick of putting the haze into a photograph is great as you can control the amount. When I want a non destructive image, I often use Select /All..Edit/Copy Merge...Edit/Paste. This gives you a layer with basically a flattened layer with the difference that you can undo. Cheers
ReplyDeletelike Kaylene, I am intrigued by putting haze into your photo!
