 Another drive by...
Here is the original:

First I ran shadow/highlight, then in Color Efex Pro I ran tonal contrast, cross processing and bi-color filters. Then I used Silver Efex Pro to make an overexposed b&w version to blend in soft light mode. I wanted it to have a faded look, so it lacks contrast on purpose. I used Andrea Rusky's wall texture found here in hard light mode. Then I used this texture by playingwithbrushes in overlay mode. I rotated it a bit, then added a layer under it and painted white around the edges to get the border.

I strongly suggest checking out both of the above texture galleries, they have some fantastic stuff!

Thanks for the link on the textures - you use them to such marvelous effect and I really need to learn to work with them a bit more.

Thanks, Colleen, for posting the processing steps and the links for the overlays. I have bookmarked the texture galleries. Now if only I could get some inspiration on when and were to use the textures. ;)

The processing really made this look like a hot and parched desert.

You have some great subjects there in NM, and a great eye to capture them. I like this overlay. Did you get it from the DPC library?
