April Event - Photo Editing

[Derf]

Here's my fun with Freddie

engrossed original


I put some prospective in, levels, contrast, unmask sharp, removed colour cast and lighteded 25% and cropped it.


engrosed original


Did everything the same as the other photo except i did not lighten this one. The lighter look comes from adjusting the levels and removing the colour cast.


i wasn't satisfied with the colour or white balance in this one so I adjusted both and i think i like this one better, what do you think??


Thanks for the fun playing with Freddie

I like the last one best also Derf, I like the cropping on it also.

Hello Sorry had a long day yesterday out at the zoo. Thanks so much for playing with my photos! Let's see...

Bergy, I like how you made the food look...but you don't like my pretty Polish Stoneware casserole lid? And I'm not too sure about the black painting, as it is visible...and did you notice you either stabbed Freddy cat near his eye, or gave him one big ass whisker!

Bea, boy I really need to download that shutterfly! You have been getting good results with it. I like how it does look crisper and the green beans and ham stand out, but there is something off about it...reminds me of the color photos in old cookbooks for some reason.

Derf, I think you are the winner! I love the Freddy Cat edit, except I wouldn't have cropped off the top of his ears. I think I like the first edit better of the other photo, as the last one is kinda grainy, and the white of the casserole dish turned blue...it also has that old cookbook look.

Engrossed that is great feedback - Thanks That's what this event is all about!

Thanks it was fun playing, i cropped the top of his ears cus there was something whiteish along the top of the photo and i'm not that good at cloning things out, it was easier to crop it out. I've noticed the more ya play with a photo the grainery it gets especially when playing with colour and shapness, they get a little pixilated. it is so easy to overdo editing
