My younger son Phillip is throwing his first party in a few weeks, and his older brother, Jonathan, will be taking care of the music.

I made this image to use as a basis for a poster advertising the fact that DJ ??? (name to confirm) will be there.

This is my starting photo of Jonathan made with my Nikon D60 and processed in Camera Raw and Photoshop CS4

I used three textures of mine, two that can be found in my DeviantArt account (click for link)

The other one is a composite of an inverted smoke image.

Here are the settings used in Camera Raw and Photoshop to achieve this effect (click to enlarge)

    High Pass filter? Whatever the treatment, it works really well!

  • Thank you George! No, not high pass. I updated the description with all the details click here to view the Camera Raw and Photoshop settings used

    Very interesting! thanks for sharing Johanne (BTW: Why are you on your computer today?? ;-) ). I think the IR layer is probably what gives it the HPF look.

  • Nope! It’s the 100% Fill Light, 70% Blacks and 100% Clarity sliders in the basic settings of Camera Raw that gives it most of its edge (would be the same settings in Lightroom).

    Son #1 is working, son #2 went to play hockey and Luc is trimming the hedge just now, while it’s not raining, then we will go for a nice long walk with the dog! :-)

    Awesome shot of him and super processing. Nice to see we can ramp those levels up without fear!
