Pop It! Queens Contest

We had a contest at SBE for layouts using Pop It! frames and primarily SBE products. First part of the contest was entries submissions. All of the entries were so much fun, a lot of brilliant ideas and smart designs. Preceding the closing of submission was the voting period. It ended last night.
What a fun contest. Here are the winners:

Pop Out Effect

From Blurry to Magical

I took this photo last year when Keith and I visited Wan in LA pretty often. Once we went to Griffith Park and took a train ride. I took pictures just continuously along the ride. The ride was so bumpy, more than I expected. It was also very cloudy, not enough natural lights and I only got kit lens attached. I had very low expectation. As expected all the photo were pretty ok, some close up turned out great but there was one I actually really liked this one so much (just perfect timing, just lucky i guess, and I also managed to get the caboose in the frame) but I think it came out too blurry.

Today I looked for that photo again to scrap. I did a little photoshopping and pretty happy with the result (starting off with no plan at all I thought it turned out pretty good to me LOL!).

This is the before photo:


Here is what I did with the photoshop:

Layer 6: Blend mode soft light, opacity 48%

Filter>Blur>Smart blur, Filter>Artistic>Poster Edges, Invert

Layer 5: Blend mode darken

Level adjusted

Layer 4: Blend mode darken

Add more brightness and more contrast

Layer 3: Blend mode pin light

Green channel only

Layer 2: Normal

Red channel only

Layer 1: Normal


Here is the after photo:


I digiscrapped the photo and here is the end result:
