  • um.. it was good until you didn't show were to get lvl correction thing.

  • That's a good catch, Annie! I do it so often I forget to actually say out loud when I hit CTRL / L to access the Levels menu.

  • hey there...how would i lessen the intensity of the orton effect if i think it's too much?

  • Before flattening the image, you can adjust either the 'blur' layer opacity or the amount of blur itself. Try the opacity first, I've usually found that is the best effect control.

    Hope this helps!

  • GREAT explanation - thanks!

  • Thank you, very nicely explained. Easy and understandable.

  • As a wedding photographer, I've been using a modified version of this effect for years - all without knowing the term "Orton Effect". Thank you!
