Thoughts:
Today I took a photo of a rose (well that's something new). When I opened the photo on my computer I was absolutely dissatisfied with it; the rose had water spots on it, so I thought why not play with it and see what I can make out of it; well here's the result:
 |
| the original photo |
 |
| the first spots are removed |
 |
| the scars of the spots are softened |
 |
| Now I started on the ratty petals |
 |
| Soften the jagged edges |
 |
| and cut the flower out of the photo |
 |
| now it can be set into any other photo |
See what is possible in just a short time
Don't believe any photo, it could be faked!
See you all tomorrow; Bye!
