The wonders of the “Orton-ish” effect

Orton-ish is a great Picnik effect that gives your photo a smooth and dreamy look.  This effect mimics an effect named for Michael Orton…which involves a lot of over exposing, stepping up, overlaying and focus specifics.  Basically, the result is a saturated glowyness.  Click on Edit Photo in the enlarged photo page to use the Picnik editing tools and filters.

Setting to know: Bloom controls the glow, brightness the saturation and fade how much you want it to blend into your original photo.  Looks good combined with the Focal Zoom effect too.
