11/04/2015 - Rainy Fall Day

11/4/2015

 

The Daily Texture for 11/04/2015
​Rainy Fall Day

Rainy Fall Day Texture
I absolutely LOVE Today's Daily Texture!  Who ever thought RAIN could be so inspiring?  It certainly was with this one.  I used this texture to pair with a photo of a Nuthatch.  

First, I placed the photo on top of the texture and blended away her background, slightly leaving a little of the tree trunk she was perched on visible.  Then I went back to the base texture layer and duplicated it, setting it on multiply at about 50%.  This darkened things a bit, which is what I wanted, especially at the bottom.  Then I duplicated the texture layer again, and placed this one on top of the bird, setting it to soft light at 100%.  I masked a little of this layer off the bird, but left it over the background.  The I duplicated that layer again, and set it to soft light at 50%, which darkened things around the edges a bit more and gave a nice glow of light around her head.

At this point, I merged everything, and I could have stopped there.  But the bird photo was a bit more noisy than I liked, especially in comparison with the texture.  I suffer with this noise issue a lot with my birds, because I usually shoot them at a higher ISO to be able to capture their movement without blurring.  I had denoised the photo before I worked with it, but it still wasn't enough for my liking.

Commercial Use OK.
So...I ended up taking the merged image into Corel Painter 16.  Using the original photo as my clone source, I painted JUST THE BIRD.  I left the texture alone, as it was already beautiful.  But by painting the bird, it eliminated all of the noise, and gave her a smooth, painterly look which worked well with the textured background.
