A Black & White Adjustment Layer was added on top using a Luminosity blend mode and the sliders were adjusted to get a nice color effect then it was set to 64% layer opacity. Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Lens Effects’s Rusty Edges Vignette was applied. The texture layer was set to Soft Light blend mode at 68% layer opacity. A Hue/Saturation Adjustment Layer was clipped (ALT+click between layers to clip) and set to a pinkish color. One of my Photoshop textures was applied on top (see my Get Rid of That Color! blog that used the same texture and free brush links). A black layer mask was added and just the leaves in the focal point were painted back.

Duplicated the layer and used Lucis Pro (no longer available) to sharpen the image.
I just love the colors and patterns in the leaves of this bush. This a beautiful Snowbush growing in my front yard. Last step used the now free Nik Viveza 2 plug-in to draw attention to the focal point. A light pink Color Fill Adjustment Layer was placed on top and set to Color blend mode.
#ANALOG EFEX PRO NP HOW TO#
(See my How to Use Curves Adjustment Layers to Dodge and Burn an Image blog on how to do this.) On top of those, a Color Lookup Adjustment Layer was applied using the Filmstock_50.3dl filter. (See my How to Use a Topaz ReStyle Trick for Improving Your Image blog to do this.) Two Curves Adjustment Layers were used to apply dodging and burning in the image. (See my How to Use a Black & White Adjustment Layer to See Contrast in an Image for more information on this.) On another stamped layer, Topaz ReStyle was applied a preset that used some colors from a previous image I had processed. Next a Black & White Adjustment Layer was added and set to Luminosity blend mode to get the tones correct.
The really bright colorful background could be controlled this way. In the Masking section, the Spot Transition was set to 0.93 and Color Aware was set to 0.27 and the effect was placed on the center of the flower. On a stamped layer, the Topaz (see sidebar for website link) Impression 2 preset as created in my Adding a Creative Touch in Topaz Impression 2 was applied, but this time the Coverage was set to 0.12, Coverage Transition 0.03, and Coverage Center X -0.13/Y 0.31. Topaz Detail 3 was applied to sharpen the image first in Photoshop. The flower in this image was an orange Canna Lily that grow really well in Florida.
