#7 Chain

This photo is of the pull chain for the light above my sink. I look at it every day, but took time to study it. I used photoscape to edit the picture. I added contrast, sharpness, upped the color through saturation and then added the vignette effect which causes the darkness around the edges.

#5 Lace

This photo is of the very edge of a lace curtain. Until I had taken it and studied the photo, I had never noticed that the edging was in the shape of bells. Photography really teaches me to be observant, to look and to really see things.

I used iPhoto to edit this photo. I cropped it up extra close, added extra contrast and clarity by moving the "sharpness" button

#2 Pink

This photo was taken in the art room of some artificial tulips.

I used Photoscape, softening around the edges, increasing saturation, increasing contrast, and choosing a medium "bloom" effect.

#11 Yellow

I chose this silk sunflower to describe the word "yellow". I editing this photo on photoscape, upping the saturation several times. I was able to add the word, "YELLOW" on "object" "text" on photoscape as well. I bloomed the center of the flower, added vignette effect to darken the corners and then added the white floral border last.

#4 Divide

I chose this picture of my front door, showing the "divide" between the outside and the inside of my house. I editing this picture on photoscape, adding the "bloom" effect, sharpening the picture and adding the vignette effect to darken around the edges.

#9 Seeing Double

This photo was taken at a motel during a softball tournament. The boys were having fun on each side of a window. I edited this picture in photoscape. I brightened, selected "bloom", added saturation of color, and added the vignette tool to darken around the edges.

#23 RED

Unediting photo of red roses



I editing this photo using iPhoto. I selected the color boost button, upped the contrast and saturation. I also used the vignette effect to darken the corners, plus another feature I blurred the edges as well. I sharpened the photo last. I enjoy looking at the differences between edited and unedited photos. The edits made this photo much more vivid and appealing.
