Now the question is, How can I get Orton Effect in my digital camera? That's why I'm here today
Materials:
The photo that we want, (I think it looks better with landscapes photos)
Photoshop (Can be any edition)
Now we are going to start:
First we put the photo in Photoshop, I select a photo that I did days ago
Now we are going to duplicate the background layer two times, to that we put Ctrl + J
We select the middle layer and we go to the option that have a circle in the image and we put lighten
After, we go to the top layer and we go to the option in the higher menu Filter
In the Filter window we go to Blur and we select Gaussian Blur
Now we select how much we want our photo unfocused, I this case I will try with 10 pixels, you can play with that to get the ideal photo
Now you have to go to the window in which we put lighten in the other layer and put overlay or multiply
Now we have our Orton Effect, in the opacity you can select the opacity (Obviously) of the filter that we put.
Take a look to my Orton Effect gallery:
