Sharpened Vintage Glow
BEFORE | AFTER
1. Copy the picture you want and make a new file in Photoshop, pasting in the picture.
I'm using these white flowers from the stock photo page.
2. Make sure your layers palette is open (Window- Show Layers).
3. Go up to Layer- Duplicate Layer- click ok. Click on the blending mode and change it to Overlay. Then go to Filter- Sharpen- Sharpen.
4. Click on the first layer with your picture and go to Filter- Blur- Gaussian Blur. Change the settings to around 2 - 6.
5. In the layers palette, click on the paper with a folded corner to make a new layer (then drag the layer to the top). Fill this layer with #0000FF and change the blending mode to Exclusion. Drop the opacity to 20-45% (mine's at 40%).
And there you have it!
