The Daily Texture for 01/20/2015
Copper In The Kitchen

Copper In The Kitchen Texture
Gimme That Ball - German Shepherd
Today's Daily Texture is filled with the rich hues of copper metal.  I paired it with this photo of my German Shepherd chasing a ball for my next image in my Spirit of the Dog Series.  I masked the texture off the area of the dog and a bit of the grass around him...trying to leave the cloud of dust billowing from under his feet visible.  Then I masked the texture off the ball as well.  After getting the overall image to look the way I wanted, I layered the texture on top and set it to soft light at 30% to give it more punch of color and brightness.  But it was still not to my liking, so I layered the texture on top again and started going through the layer modes to see what might look right.  I finally decided on "color dodge", but only at 30%...100% was way too strong.  This adjustment put more light on the dog and just made the image sing...I think I will use color dodge again!
