Tech Note: The essential processing sequence was Lightroom (initial processing) > Photoshop > Lightroom (final processing). Specifically:

 

(a) Photoshop ("PS") was used solely to apply the Filter/Stylize/Find Edges operation. This operation outlines edges at multiple levels of image detail, the effect of which is to impart a drawing or etched quality, while maintaining photographic origins.

 

(b) The PS Find Edges operation may also alter color hues, values and intensities. This is highly dependent upon the initial processing in Lightroom. Considerable trial and error is required before one develops a feel for the effects of initial Lightroom processing on the outcome of the PS Find Edges operation.

 

(c) Final processing in Lightroom is used to reconstitute/alter image properties (including color hues, values and intensities) as one sees fit.
