I mentioned the other day that I'm doing this new "trick" I stumbled upon by accident. This is an example of how it looks. The trick is to open your image, make a duplicate layer, desaturate the duplicate layer, set the blend mode to soft light or overlay. Try it. See if you like it. See you all tomorrow. Hopefully, I'll have some new shots from our visit to Banff.

I'm not able to continue a daily posting but will when I can. I appreciate all visits and comments and thank you always... ;-)

This is why I miss my computer. It has all my photo software on it. I do like the red against the tree and snow. Look forward to seeing Banff.

The red berries against the snow are beautiful, I really love the pp and will definatly give it a go and let you know how I get on :) I'm pretty sure I can get to desat the duplicate layer, but from then on, it will be trial and error! :D Hope you've had a lovely time in Banff and really looking forward to your seeing your photgraphs :)

Well, I'm not sure what the scene would have looked like without the processing so it is hard for me to tell if it was a good thing. But, knowing you, it is. I'll have to try this technique sometime! However, I can say that I like the outcome very much (whatever the original exposure looked like)!!! Great job on a fine image!
