The Daily Texture for 09/27/2015
​Sea Spray

Today's Daily Texture features the misty colors of the sand and sea, all wrapped up into one.  I used this texture with a photo of a blue heron I took at the lake last weekend.  He sailed right by me as pretty as could be, and I thought he paired wonderfully with this texture!  

First, I masked away his background and placed him, carefully positioning his darker feet in the darker area of the texture.  Then I duplicated the texture layer twice and placed these on top.  The first layer was set to multiply at about 33% and the second layer was set to soft light at about 50%.  After merging the layers, I opened Topaz Adjust and picked a filter called "Brilliant Cold", which boosted the saturation and brightness just enough.
