Honestly you should consider carefully when choose photo for tutorial. ‘coz the photo create the strongest impact & most likely people will judge whether the tut is worth to read or not through the photo.

If you really want the dreamy effect. Well, my advice is just take a photo in raw, import it into lightroom & pull down the clarity bar.

i like the technique used but honestly… horrible photo. you should try a different photo that is actually interesting to start with rather than try to save some random photo.

Here’s a quick way to do it with one exposure….duplicate layer, use screen, duplicate layer again, use multiply, add gaussian blur to taste…..merge those layers, and voila, Orton !!!

Yeah, that effect might work didn’t try it. but to me the final image just looks blurry and over exposed!
I’d love to see this redone with a better image.

In deed, the tutorial is read-worthy, but the sample image is just not that good.

I really like the tulip. Proves that you don’t have to sacrifice focus to get the effect. Thanks for sharing.

I’ll try this again.
Here’s a single image I did with a tut tip from one of our members. Sorry, I can’t remember who it was. But it was one photo overexpose and a copy underexposed. Then blended together with some adjustments.
