Photo editing

[stevewool]

I have been doing some photo editing over the last few days, and there are some great sites that can help you along and many are free too,
I have been asked to do a special picture for a special friend and its personal too,

What software are you using Steve

[stevewool]

The one i use the most is a old program, Corel paintshop proX4, There are newer versions of this now but i am happy with what i have,
I also use Lunapic which is free, and to get this picture how i wanted it i used Color splash again its a free program

I wish I could give time to master Photoshop.
Lightroom is a little easier

All these softwares need a good deal of practice and understanding. In the old days it was dedicating time for "playing" in the darkroom.

I took this, this afternoon. I will enter it into the village show photography competition, titled Close up of a flower.

Cheers Steve, you know, I did exactly the same as you did with my table and the app you said :xxgrinning--00xx3:. It was a real fly on top, maybe only 3 or 4 mm long, the flower is in our pond. When I zoom in on the fly, it has lovely green eyes.

Amazing pictures. :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I have Coreldraw 9, Suite, which must be about 15 years old now. :cwm25:

I used to be quite good with it a loooong time ago, but almost forgotten about it now.

Maybe I'll get it out for a play. :smile:

I did a thread once about repairing old damaged family photo`s using the old photo shop tools...
It was difficult and required patience but extremely rewarding..

The trouble is you only can go so far when trying to get a picture better, like Fred says it is truely rewarding seeing what you can do, but it is time consuming too, best bet is to get that great picture first time , then play with it,

My use with Photoshop, is restoring old early 1900s photos of family to use in my Family Tree.
I get a lot of photos through restoring distant relatives photos free for them as long as I can use them in my tree.
Win all round :xxgrinning--00xx3:

I think that's probably the best idea.
Hope, I can get around to it one day.

I recently started a Tagalog course but haven't progressed from the first lesson as I not been able to prioritise time to continue.
Hopefully when we've finally settled in our new house I'll get serious about it.

I love photography and have plenty of places to go, just need to get this house finished the way I want it.
