Orton Effect
As usual, I am late to the party. When I first joined Imagekind a couple of months ago, I discovered the beautiful photography of Antje Bormann and immediately wanted to emulate her treatment. Today, she tipped me off to the Orton Effect, and once googled, I found this easy tutorial. And just like that, I think I’ve found a new addiction… first came Urban Acid, then textures, and now the Orton Effect.

[...] (Can you tell I discovered the clarity slider in Lightroom? It reminds me of the Orton Effect.) [...]
