More fun

This is a picture of flowers my kids sent me. The lighter picture is the original, the darker one is the one I played with. I adjusted the noise and used larger brush strokes to darker it up and create shadows. The more I get used to the program the more fun I am having!


Playing around

I am getting alittle more comfortable with Photoshop. Was playing around with mosiacs, this is a picture I took in Bermuda last summer, they grow wild all over the island.

Another try at it!





A couple more pictures that I played around with. I had some issues with eraser, not sure what I did wrong but will keep playing with it. I changed the hue and saturation on the two pictures. Am finding that it is alot of trial and error.

Lighting project

I had fun playing with the lighting tools in Photoshop. I played around with the shadowing, highlights and contrast. For the black and white photo I used the infrared effect.

I did it!!

I finally manuvered my way through Photoshop and figured out how to layer! I have to say that I don't think that Photoshop Elements is all that user friendly. This is a wedding photo of my husband's Grandparents, the crocus' were planted by her many years ago in our front yard. I believe that they were married in the late 1920's.

Landscape photos











These photos are of the baseball field that our high school team uses. My son played on this field for 4 years so it holds a special place in my heart. This time of year it holds so much hope of a winning season, even though there is still some snow on the ground, spring shall come!
