Search my blog for "Orton effect" and perhaps you can try the technique too, if you use a program like Photoshop.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-86373760102793796012013-10-03T17:28:34.532-04:002013-10-03T17:28:34.532-04:00Okay...

It is...Thank you for noticing the 3D effect, Lori! It is a 7 image HDR (all RAW files), combined and tone-mapped with Nik's HDR Efex Pro. I did some typical things in Photoshop (adjusting levels, curves, dodging, burning, etc.), but I also added structure & bumped up saturation in Nik's Viviza plug-in, and then added some contrast filters in Nik's Color Efex Pro. I also added a "glow" filter (which is essentially an Orton effect) there too. I have found that adding a glowing effect to an HDR image really helps to bring out a 3-D effect, provided there is some good contrast (i.e., not flat with lighting). I also topped the image off with one of the filters in Topaz Clarity. I added this Topaz product to my arsenal a couple of months ago, and I really like how those filters can give a special "pop" to liven up the colors/contrast.Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05347598432040432610noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7030532780217946336.post-76684010787113931262013-10-03T14:36:57.414-04:002013-10-03T14:36:57.414-04:00This is so neat.
