v_kyr Posted January 14, 2018 Share Posted January 14, 2018 Photos of rusty motifs sometimes have a certain flair, which you can reinforce/enhance if desired. This Rusty Boost Macro just tries to do this in a reusable manner with some simple applied layers. LAYERS This macro creates two layers for you with corresponding layer masks: The macro makes first a copy (Ctrl/Cmd-J) of your background image layer and then applies a high pass filter on it (with a default setting of 20 px) and puts this layer into vivid light blending mode. You might adjust the layer's opacity to your taste here. There is also a layer mask applied so you can include/exclude certain image areas with a white/black brush here on demand. A 15% opacity black fill layer and mask are applied in multiply blend mode, in order to give blacks a slightly stronger go and darkens the image slightly. You can adjust the black fill layer opacity to your liking and use for the layer mask a white/black low to medium opacity soft brush and paint over the image, in order to include/exclude certain image areas from the black fill.

Richard S. Posted June 30, 2018 Share Posted June 30, 2018 Looks great, but unfortunately doesn’t import from the macro studio on iPad. I think you need to export it from the library, and also rename it macros (with an S on the end), in order for it to be iPad compatible. Thanks anyway, nice to see people sharing :) Quote High-End Photographic Prints Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
