Edit Me 2012 ~ Week 17
The tulips pictured for this week's Edit Me Challenge were just too pretty to resist....I took the challenge ~
By adding my bloom brush and a plastic grunge on top of that, I transported Diane's tulips into a hazy sunlit morning.

Edit Me 2012 Week 12
This cluster of flowering crabapple berries was just too hard not to edit.....pretty as this picture is, I only had to tweak it a bit.
While I got in too late to post with Beth, Stephanie and Branson, I did enjoy the fun. Click on the Edit Me button below and see how other photographers edited this one.

Edit Me Challenge Week 9

| Jonah Before |
Jonah after my edit......I do a lot of screen blend, duplicating a screen layer several times, then brushing the blend off the face. I even tried a little bit of overlay blend....moved the picture around until I had the focus desired......love the softness the blends gave with the focus on Jonah's face. Thanks Stephanie for sharing Jonah with us. And thank you Branson for Edit Me Challenge Week 9.

Edit Me Challenge Week 8
I took this picture of Bree's baby girl and let my imagination run wild. The water gurgling over her toes just made we giggle. I wanted you to giggle too, so after duplicating the original picture, I used the move tool- ctrl T keyboard shortcut - to put focus only on her lacy skirt, legs and feet. Color Burn blend was applied at 66% opacity. I then duplicated this screen shot, used the move again to bring the top portion of the picture into focus. I love using the Screen blend so applied it at 80% opacity. Edited using PSE 7.
Just imagine!

Edit Me Challenge Week 7
The Recipe: After downloading Rosie's wonderful picture of a Scottish castle from the Leaves 'n Bloom Studio, (thanks Rosie) I added the screen blend mode, then duplicated that layer for an even lighter effect. Played with the neon glow filter as well as the render lens flare filter.
Pulled one of my favorite textures - artist- from Pixel Dust Photo Art, duplicated the artist texture layer a couple of times to intensify it even more, then applied the multiply and soft light blend modes at 100% opacity.
It's a visual treat to see the twists others put on this spectacular picture. Join me at Edit Me 2012 - Week 7.

Edit Me Challenge - Week 5
Oh, the beauty of.....what a great picture this week to work with thanks to Linda at Coach House Crafting. I ultimately decided to embrace the contrasting blues in the boat, the water and sky. The hardest part of this edit was to crop down to just a minuscule part of this amazing sea scape, but once that was done, I just lightened and adjusted contrast.

Edit Me Challenge - Week 4
Oh, what a cutie he is...I just wanted to give that little cheek a love pinch. Hugs go out to Ashley Sisk for giving us this picture for Edit Me Challenge - Week # 4.
And here is the little cutie after my edit
The process: Levels adjustment RGB input 1.50
Added minimal water color filter then brushed the filter off the baby's face
Applied Render lens flare filter with the flare in the high right side of the photo
Applied Render clouds filter, again brushing off the baby
Vivid light blending mode and screen mode - both at 100% opacity
Brushed the baby's face again
Today's edit was all about filters to highlight and spotlight the face of this beautiful baby boy
Using PSE 7
Great Fun! 19.1.12

While I loved Marilyn's before picture, I chose to focus on the blue fish net....which means that I first cropped the picture! Working in PSE 7, I applied the Gaussian blur filter at 12% opacity. Went to my radlab add on and applied the edge blur, divine light 1 and 2 stylets. Saved this adjustment then applied the screen filter at 65% opacity. Signed and Saved.
Now, hop on over and see all the edits of the week.....4.1.12
