ZEBRA PORTRAIT
Zebra was captured at a local wildlife ranch. Three different textures were used to build the background with different blend modes in Photoshop and then a painterly effect was applied using Topaz Impressions.
The Zebra was processed with Photoshop and enhanced with Color Efex Pro using the Tonal Contrast, Detail Extractor and Pro Contrast with various settings. Fur and hair was painted on the mask during extraction to ensure a realistic look using various fur brushes I built in Photoshop. Routine dodging and burning as well as a few luminosity masks were used in processing to modify and enhance the light. I use Tony Kuper's luminosity masks.
