layering photo filters

 

Grazing in the early morning sun, King's white mare & foal near the Salt River, 9-15-12.

So, to demonstrate the effects of the multiple filter layers, first I'll remove the copyright layer & the vignette (corner shadowing) filter layer:

  

Next, I'll remove the photo fading effect filter layer:

Then I'll remove the tonality adjustment filter layer that brings more detail to shadowed areas:

Above is the basic version I started with, not completely RAW from the camera, but with no filters -- just normal cropping, contrast and minor sharpening edits -- the standard formula for most of my photos.

Again, the final filter-layered version:

  Fun stuff to play with when you get a good subject like this.
