by defination this image certainly is Orton effect


Thanks for sayin' so Bruce. Looks it to me. I DID use the 'Orton Effect' assistant on PSE 10. First time I ever tried it and thought that was what I was getting. Oh well... Back to the drawing board and experimenting the 'old school' way. <grins>

good job with grannie but it is NOT the "Orton effect."


Huh. Interesting. I used th "Orton Effect" program on PSE 10. Must be wrong. Thought that was what I was getting. Oh well...live and learn.

docrob, do you have any that you could share with us and tell us how you did it?

The 'art work" is located in the beautiful city of Alliance, Neb. Which we got to visit because I-29 was flooded at St. Joseph, Mo. and I decided to drive back roads across Nebraska.
Here's a travel tip, after a 600+ mile day got in to Alliance at about 6:30 pm dead tired. Only one chain motel in the town and about 5 small independent places, now I can sleep on a ladder but not so for the one I call my sweet thing. I visit every motel in town NO Vacancies anywhere, but finally found a RV Park and figured if they have a spot well will sleep in the car. The wonderful lady at the park listened to my sad story and made her spare bedroom over the office available. The kindness of strangers ! Next morning she told me about Car Henge and I loved it.

I occ. use the orton effect, it depends on the image. Bright flowers work well with this technique. However, here is how I do it, as given to me by a friend years ago. #1 duplicate layer, change blending mode to screen. #2 duplicate that layer (it gets really light). #3 use Gaussian blur.....sliders for the amount....I usually use around 24. #4 on this layer, change the blending mode to multiply.....sliders for the amounts. That's it....easy. I don't know if this is the true orton effects that was original, and I certainly don't shoot one shot out of focus for this, but it works on some images. I quickly used this on an image I took in the mountains a couple of weeks ago, just to show the effects.

I have also discovered an effect similiar to this, by using the clarity slider toward the negative numbers in camera raw......it softens the image considerably, and sometimes resembles the orton effect.

Wanda, this is lovely photo and beautiful use of the Orton Effect. It reminds me of a Thomas Kinkade painting (without a little bungalow with light shining through the windows).

I tried this on an image in PSE 10 which will actually assist you in adjusting blur, noise, and brightness.

The image I am posting was sent to me by a friend who asked me to "do something with this." photo of her with her mom who is in a nursing home. The original image (NOTmine) was taken with a cell phone and is posted with permission. I was able to enlarge the Orton Effect image to 5x7 with good results.

It's the first time I had ever tried it...and it made her cry.

My job is done.

What I had to work with...

Just made up my mind on the Sigma 50-500mm F4-6.3 "Bigma" if all I can have is ONE! (But then what do I do with my other bodies???)


Donate them to science? <Laf'n>
(Sorry...couldn't help myself)

Hmmmm...which one to choose? I got it! I would probably give up my D3100 <sigh> and go back to my little Nikon P90 that has a wide angle and 24x zoom. (I can't believe I just said that.) But...HEY...it's got everything in one handy-dandy little compact camera. It has been a good cross-over from 35mm to digital...and I still carry it with me for those "Oh wow...wish I had a camera" moments.

Have a great weekend. Happy trails y'all.

Dunno. Never tried it. I organize my own photos on my computer.

I need to stop by the camera store and get some stuff this weekend. In the past I have noted lots of folks standing around holding number tags and a few folks with like 4 foot long white lens on the camera. I never bring my camera gear inside.
So as I know what I want, I head for the pro area and I’m in and out. I do stop by the rental area and talk shop for awhile, the same at the film counter. I’m not being an ass am I?

If you shoot Canon, then yes.
If you shoot Nikon, then of course not!
