Old Fashioned Macro Shots

Gary Detonnancourt

I took these images at a macro workshop I attended last week.  I will be sharing a DIY flash bracket system, in the weeks to come, that I used to make these images.  For the post-processing of these images, I used the Nik plugins and I am currently making a class on how to use them since google has released them for free.  Which version of this image do you prefer (#1,2,3,4).  Check out how they were made, using the Google Nik Collection, in the video below.

400+ White Smoke Overlays for Photo Effects and Textures
$19.99

This is a digital product with over 400 high-resolution smoke images in JPG format. They can be used in any image editing program that uses blend modes on layers, such as Photoshop.

Easy to Follow Instructions:
You will need to know the basics of Adobe Photoshop and know how to use layers. If you don’t have these skills please check out my Photoshop course.

You can show or hide layers, Rotate or flip, resize, or change the transparency. Use the eraser on your overlay layer (or mask and brush) to clean something. You can mix & match additional overlays to achieve a unique result.

JPEG format:
1. Place the smoke layer over your photo and set the layer blend mode to SCREEN (after that black background will be invisible).
2. Use the eraser on your overlay layer (or mask and brush) to clean some parts etc.
3. You can mix & match additional overlays to achieve a unique result.
4. Save your photo and finish the work。
