Floral Effect

[charlie]

Just about to start a site and she's sent me a few images as examples of a look she likes and they all have this kind of effect .. not sure what you'd call it really but anyone got any idea how I'd get a 'normal' flowery image to look this way or similar ?

It's marginal, but I suspect they've done this:


Step One - open image in photoshop

Step Two - copy the layer and set the blend mode to "Screen"
Step Three - Apply a gaussian blur to the copy layer
Step Four - Reduce the opacity of the copy layer to suit


Does that help?

The image also seems 'pixellated' in some way, maybe reduced in size and then enlarged to lose the resolution?

That's maybe just super-over-compression on the JPEG side.

cheers Sam .. that's pretty close to the look methinks :-)
