This week's Texture Tuesday required we have people in our textured photo. I have experimented with this, but not very successfully. So I tried again, but I did it the easy way.
Sunflower:
I used "Stained Linen" Overlay 100%, but masked off of the face and arms. In order to not cause tone problems, I converted it all to black and white.
Huckleberry:
This one has one layer of Kim Klassen's "Not too Shabby" Soft Light 100% completely desaturated so I could mask off the face again without worrying about color matching. It also has two layers of "February Magic Edges" inverted (so the white is where the black was and vice versa). One layer is Soft Light 38% with face masked off and one layer is Multiply 38%.
I plan to experiment some more with Kim's tutorial on two methods of how to copy the colors and tone onto the skin while removing the texture. I tried with one photo today, but the photo overall just didn't work out.
SnapDragon:
Didn't seem fair to leave one child out, so he is today's sweet shot.
This photo is the result of having the wrong settings on my camera--too dark--but the result is "a really cool bubble!" in my son's opinion.
I love this reminder that some day everything will be made clear and while my current perceptions are distorted by only seeing a poor reflection, God already knows me fully. I find this very comforting.

Wonderful! I think you did very well with the textures. I also agree with the "really cool bubble"!
Good pictures! It's hard to work with textures and faces.
wonderful images- i love the texture use in the first image.
Beautiful photos and texture work!
Beautiful images. Stained Linen just happens to be my favorite from KK.
LOVE all three of those kiddos' photos! I don't have the patience to work with skin tones, etc. Delightful bubble, too!
Beautiful photographs - you must be so proud of your children. Love the b&w one as the texture really softens the background.
I think you did a FANTASTIC job will all of them!!
You did a wonderful job with your textures. They added a nice touch to the images without being to overpowering. Great bubble too! Sometimes the wrong settings on our camera can deliver a nice surprise.
Gorgeous kids! LOVE those glasses.
These are all just fantastic!! And that bubble is pretty cool. Love the scripture you used with it.
Hope you have a great day♥
i love the bubble shot! your kids are adorable!
Hi, Cedar! Thanks for stopping by my photography blog. I just love comments. :)
Your son is right--that is a really COOL bubble shot! I want to spend a while looking to see if I can discern anything in the reflection--which is why your verse fits perfectly.
Hope you have a great week!!

I love the first shot of your little girl. That bubble shot is amazing!
I really need to work on textures, too. I am just not comfortable with them at all.

Awesome shots! All three!
I can´t say which is the best. Charming idea!
Beautiful portraits with a clean and beautiful eyes. His technique is perfect execution.
I'm here from a Scripture and a Snapshot ... I love yours, and it's so true about it being comforting that God knows us fully! Your other images are wonderful, too ... I do love Kim Klaussen's work, and so blessed that she shares her textures! Have a great day!
Beautiful textures on your pictures! Love the bubble shot too.
You make me want to play in Photoshop! I LOVE the bubble!!
Thanks so much for visiting my Texture Tuesday and leaving me a comment. I love all of your photos above...the children are adoreable and I think the texturizing turned out great. I too think the bubble is unique.

The shots of your kids are wonderful!!! And your S&S shot is pretty cool too. I agree that this verse is an excellent reminder that He knows everything and we don't need to!
