Here's my original from Monday. Remember?
Here's the edit I did using the basic concepts from Ashley's edit. Because my photo was extremely light and her's was fairly dark there were many things I did that were {kind of} opposite of what she did.
For this next one, I left the photo edit as above, then ran Paint the Moon's Candy Light Pop action and slightly sharpened again. I may have lowered the opacity for the whole action a bit too...
For this last one, I decided since I love his little hat and camo pants and HATE that turquoise railing...Memphis has no style! I got rid of all the other color...
I created a Black and White adjustment layer (in CS5) using the Neutral Density Filter and turned it down to about 80%. Then, I selected my black paint brush at full opacity and brushed his hat and his pants! Now, this last edit isn't exactly fancy or something I would print for my wall, but it was just kind of a fun experiment that I thought I'd share for some variety.
Happy editing friends...
PS. We are going to Nashville tomorrow for the annual Red Bull Blowout. I am going to try to post some more snow photos and link up to Scavenger Hunt Sunday! The items this week are: A Different View, Looking Up, Abstract, Hair and Half. These seem really challenging..Abstract..hmmmm. ideas?
Great pop in your edit. I love the last one... the selective coloring. It's so nice to be able to just get rid of something you don't like in a photo now with our programs. :)
ReplyDeleteI think your edit looks really great and I'm so glad you knew to take teh concepts and apply them to your photo. I need to reinforce that message because each photo is going to be different. Lovely work.
ReplyDeleteI like your choice to highlight his red hat and get rid of the other distracting collies. Well done!
ReplyDeleteThe last one is great -the hat POPS!
ReplyDeleteI love how you changed the railing -- all great edits!
