I did a little experimenting with the new free texture called Gratitude 2. If you didn't pick it up yet, you can do so by going here.
Here, Gratitude 2 is applied to a photograph of branches of red berries against a blue sky. This application was blended in Difference at 95% opacity.
Look at the surprise I had when I tried the Blend Mode Hue (100%) opacity. The background seemed to divided itself into arcs of color without my needing to do a thing! Love the effect! The word 'gratitude' also disappeared with the use of this blend mode, without my erasing it.
Here's basically the same effect using Saturation Blend Mode at 100% opacity. I love sweet surprises on a Monay morning. I hope some of you will let me know if you get similar effects with this texture in those two blending modalities.
Keep your eye out for another free texture coming soon. And don't forget ... this week's Photo Art Friday is an easy one. Simply link up a piece of photo art from your archives that has never had the attention it deserves. Easy peasy! :) See you soon.
