Post - Production
Post production is where the real fun began. I love it once the "Testing and Waiting" is complete, because then I get to move onto "What you see is what you get". This also means fast detailing at a high pace.
I made a "Highlight" selection on the entire image and feathered it by 30 pixels (This is a 5000 px wide image). Then I added a layer and made a white fill and decreased the layer opacity to about 40%. This added the desired haze.
Major tonal changes were made on a new layer with a blending mode of "Color". With this I painted at various opacity levels and colors depending on the location and objects.
The fruits needed more intensity, so I painted on those as well. I also decided that I wanted labels on the glass jars. This was also done within Photoshop, hand painting them.
You can see some of the other various items and explanations that I worked on in the image associated to this section.
By keeping things simple and letting them progress in an organic thought process, I kept the creation fun and stress free. Keep in mind that letting your brain wander can produce fantastic results, especially if you are inspired at the time. Have fun and good luck creating your dreams!
