Like many, I find Photoshop difficult to master, even understand. I wanted to play with layering but hadn’t found anything user friendly, until now. Thanks to a tip I picked up at Elizabatz Gallery regarding Pixlromatic I was able to produce this image I am pleased with. I introduced a sky layer to produce this image of the Church of the Holy Cross in Cruwys Morchard, Devon. As a first go I am pleased with it.

It’s just lovely!
Thank you and thank you for all your lovely footprints today. 🙂
Wonderfully atmospheric!
Thank you – the layering of the sky also produced a nice foggy effect I thought.
Great work Lynne! I have tried this a few times, sometimes it works, most times it doesn’t 😦
It’s good to know I not alone at least – sometimes I feel so deficient 😉
You are most definitely not alone – though I think you are very talented and creative and not at all deficient.
Hi Lynne,
You’ve done a very nice job on this picture. I must do a tutorial on layers and layer masks in Photoshop at some point. It took me ages to get to grips with, I looked at so many tutorials and then one day it clicked. I’ve taught quite a few people to use them now and the comment generally is ‘Oh, is that it? Why do they make it so complicated?’.
HI Adrian, thank you. I’ve seen so many lovely layered compositions and have never been able to participate. I know PS has many more subtleties to it but I’m just excited i can now layer one image over another 🙂 WHY indeed!
Yes please!! A layers guide for dummies 🙂
😀
Lynne, you did a wonderful job! I’m still trying to figure out layers – I just have a mental block about them and I don’t know why. So, way to go 🙂
This pixlromatic made it super simple, Stacy. PS is just way beyond me – I don’t have the energy for the learning curve.
You did a great job!! Looks great with the cloud layer.
🙂
