Smee Again Posted May 24, 2020 Share Posted May 24, 2020 Nice job! You can really jack up those water droplets by: Add a "highpass" live filter. Run the slider on the filter to the far right. Use the "linear light" blend mode. Press <CTRL> + "i" (this inverts the mask on the live filter to black) Paint on the live filter mask with a very soft brush and a flow around 25% loaded with white. Experiment until you get results that really make them pop. Alfred 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smee Again Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 Thanks Alfred. I just never think about Mac users. Oversight on my part. 👍 j3rry 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Smee Again Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 Here is an example of what I was talking about. First pic is out of camera (of course, resized). Second is done by the process I spoke about. John Rostron and StuartRc 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
