Before and after editing

I haven't done any playing around with textures and photo editing in a while. The other day I sat down and decided to play.

I had been working with my camera using the manual mode just to see what I could get. Being cold and rather gloomy the options for subjects are slim.

I took a picture of these leaves laying on my back deck. This is the picture straight off the camera.


This is after making some adjustments and adding some textures.

But if you know me, when I get started on things like this I just keep going. I thought I would try and soften some of it up a bit but maybe make the leaves stand out a little more.


I don't know if I accomplished what I was looking for but I did manage to kill an hour or so playing.

I really like the textured one, but the last one, showing more depth of the leaves is favored!!

Each picture gets better! You did this all in your camera? It must really be something else!

Good results from your playing Ann. We like the third one the best. Have a great day.

Ann said...

I used to spend a lot of time doing stuff like this and then got away from it. It is fun

Ann said...

Thanks. That was my thoughts on these too

Ann said...

I used to spend so much time doing things like these. I do enjoy it. Wade always
used to tell me he liked the originals better

Ann said...

thanks

Ann said...

Thanks. The playing only seems to come in spurts but I guess a spurt is better than nothing

Ann said...

Yes, I did have a great time

Ann said...

Only the original was from my camera, the editing I did in Photoshop elements.

Ann said...

thank you

Ann said...

Yes, play time is essential. Since I have no one else to consider when I get home I can play as much as I want to

Ann said...

Thanks. I liked the third one best too

The editing is awesome. What a difference it makes.

Reeni said...

I love playing around with pictures! I'm not as good as you at it but it's fun. I love the last one too.

Ann said...

Good or bad, makes no difference. It's whether or not you enjoy doing it. That's my philosophy any way
