Here is my Vintage Image

Click on an image for a larger view.

This is my neighbor Grace. Cutie isn't she!
I did a few things... I followed yesterday's tutorial on my original image. I then duplicated that layer and applied the Orton effect to the original image. Combined my layers into one image using the shortcut Ctrl, Alt, Shift E. I then deleted everything but my original and the Orton layer. Next I used a layer mask to make her eyes and lips clear from the original. I then lowered the opacity of the Orton layer, used the earlier shortcut to combine the layers into a new image yet again. Applied a chocolate filter to the new image and an Antique frame. I am not sure where I downloaded the frame? If someone knows, please leave a comment and I will add the link.
Thanks so much for looking.
Hope you have a great day!

As a side note: If you do not know how to apply the Orton Effect? The directions are coming soon. See you then.

Answering questions & another mask

If you have a rar. folder that you need to unzip. You can download a free trial of winRAR here. CNet has a very good record of safe downloads. It is a 40 day free trial. I downloaded it a couple of days ago and it worked great. When your 40 days are up, you can uninstall it from your computer and be back to normal. Next... If you come to a texture that is just an image such as the Antique1 texture. Right click and copy it. This will copy the image to your computers clipboard. Open CS or Elements. Hit Ctrl N for a new document. Your computer will remember the copied size and make a new document to fit it. Once your new blank document is opened. Hit Ctrl V, this paste your image into the document. Now save in your texture folder. Another thing; if you watch the video but you are working in Elements and don't have a layer mask button. Do This. Open a new levels adjustment layer. Click ok without making any changes. This now gives you a layer mask to paint on. Click on your mask to m...
