With a little help from Photoshop

Tree silhouette BW

It was a flat, grey day but I liked the branches of this tree so into Photoshop it went. Here’s how it emerged.

Not content to leave well enough alone, I played with the colors, too. It’s not to my liking but it helped me get through a brief tantrum: “NOOOO!!!! I don’t want grey days again!” That’s the sort of thing that helps when there’s no chocolate in the house.

  1. It looks like there are many things one can do with photoshop. I tried the free trial once but could never get the hang of it.

  2. Again, I need to download my photoshop 11 that I got about 2 years ago. Wonder what is holding me back? I really do like the first photo. Incidentally, chocolate is an important pantry staple.

  3. You shame me. I have an ancient version of one of the abridged (i.e., cheaper) versions of Photoshop but I never played with it enough to get any good. Your skill is way beyond mine. I figure that if I didn’t take a good enough photo to stand on its own with minimal editing, then too bad for me.

  4. Good work! I tend to be a lazy purist (kinda like Jack.) Now…about that chocolate-in-the-house issue. I hope it’s been rectified!

  5. You’d better stock up on chocolate – I hear that the dreary days are headed our way. I don’t mind them so long as I have something indoors to keep me occupied – the holidays should do that for a while anyway. Love the effects in the photo.
