Breakfast Silhouette

I've never been happy with my results processing the original photo taken with the iPad 3 during breakfast onboard Royal Caribbean's Jewel of the Seas cruise ship. So, here's one attempt I recently created while trying to better understand several iPad apps.

While totally processing the image on the new iPad, MonoPhix HD was selected to create two black and white photos with varying degrees of tonal effects. Blender was used to layer, adjust and flatten the images.

A photo of a rock wall inside the Temppeliaukio Kirkko (Rock Church) in Helsinki, Finland was imported to Laminar. Following histogram adjusts and the addition of an FX blur effect, the image was highly saturated. This is a method I frequently use to create images for my texture library.

Again, Blender was used to layer and adjust the flattened black and white and texture images.

Finally, I selected iPhoto to complete contrast, brightness and saturation adjustments.
