I just wanted to make sure y’all knew that I use Photoshop all the time.
This beautiful shot is from
this badly exposed original. I routinely put trees in front of our neighbor’s roof. I remove fences, electrical lines and buildings… all the time. I use Photoshop to remove weeds.
And I enhance the colors just because I can. This vibrant (alright, lurid) shot
came from this tastefully muted original. I’m making cartoons: I have to use low resolution for the internet, so I increase the contrast and pop the colors, simplify the image and make them into little posters.
I know that some photos represent an existing reality, but mine don’t. I have never posted a photo that wasn’t manipulated, and you can see from these pairs of photos that I’m better with the computer than the camera.
I just wanted to get this off my chest. I will never mention it again.






















thanks for ‘fessing up….I need to get photoshop! Have a great weekend Alice. I thought of you a few weeks ago when eating some tasty fiddlehead ferns! You had those in VT, right?
Sure did! Yum!
Nice work Alice!
As for the Fiddleheads Pat, prime picking has nearly passed here in Middlebury VT. I’m sure Alice has a good recipe for them; I usually just sautee them in some butter with a little bit of garlic and salt.
Reality is soooo over-rated. Let’s hear it for Photoshop!
Wow!
I kind of disappointed to know …
SR
I’m sorry, Shirley.
I do that all the time too! I think of it as art, rather than reporting. And I use Picasa — I still haven’t hooked up the photoshop.
Reality is over-rated!
