[QUOTE="Vixen, post: 438924, member: 21839"] OK...so I looked at a couple of PS tutorials on youtube and read a couple of other tutorials and as usual I didn't get quite what I was after, so i combined ideas from all of them My starting shot. I thought this might work a little better than the ladybird [ATTACH=CONFIG]149995._xfImport[/ATTACH] So what I did was..... Adjusted exposure, highlights etc as I normally would Tweaked the colour in Nik ColorEfex Pulled up the detail of the centre of the flower in Nik Viveza Then I created both a circular & octagonal bokeh brush and applied that all over Then added blur Then masked out the flower and other bits that I wanted to remain sharp and free of bokeh Quite pleased with myself as layers and layer masks have so far confused me but I found it easy today :D The result is still not quite there but getting there [ATTACH=CONFIG]149996._xfImport[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
