This is such a cool technique Ona! Thanks for the tutorial. Here's what I came up with. I started with something completely different, but somehow the creative process and Maya's overlays led me here...

Thanks for the challenge. I know you said it wouldn't work, but I wanted to try it and I liked it. ;) The only big tree on the refuge I think.

Ona, I am having a weird problem. Here is the image before I hit Control+Shift+Alt+E.

Here is what happens when I hit Control+Shift+Alt+E. Any ideas on where I am going wrong?

@wombat146 Don't worry about it. When I added a texturize filter to the photo first then I could use the Control+Shift+Alt+E just fine. Who knows. And I decided to do an extraction anyway which also worked. Weird.

@scribler Using that merging step will give you a fair indication of what happen when everything below it is merged......... and it will to a certain degree look different to what you see on your screen. I am glad that you continued to play with your photo though and tried some other filters, it really does come back to the photo itself, no two black and white photos will ever work in exactly the same way because of the 'data' within the photo itself, the depth of field, shutter speed etc etc. So you do need to experiment and tweak your settings......... maybe I am a nerd that way but I love doing that part! lol! :)

Well, I tried to follow along on CC, but I just got it again and I'm very rusty. I did the best I could using Photoshop Elements 2023. I did the Threshold filter and the grain and the noise. I'm not completely happy with the "grunge look" and might try it again. I do like the overall look of my layout though. Thanks for the tutorial, Ona and I'm going to keep trying to figure out how to do it more to my liking. I just wanted to have a go at it.
