I never knew it could be so much fun to fiddle with the basic settings in iPhoto! I've been trying to pluck up the courage to work a bit in Photoshop but so far I haven't done much. My refurbished Powerbook came with all this great software (Adobe Illustrator, InDesign, ImageReady, Photoshop, GoLive, Contribute, Dreamweaver, Flash and Fireworks. Oh, and QuarkXPress Passport, which I don't know what it is...) but I'm not using any of it! Beautiful icons to keep in my dock though... :] I know how to use InDesign from working with it in the office and I designed my blog banner with it, but apart from that - I've got some playing around to do.
This last one is the original - cor, all my previous photos look colourless and dull compared to the tweaked ones now. Well, that changes things a bit - I think I will be working a bit on my creations from now on. I'm thinking, isn't it the same if I would have set my camera settings to get more saturation into the picture before I capture it as digitally doing it afterwards? Anyway, that's what I'm going to keep telling myself. I mean look at this photo below - boooring!
Mind you, I won't be having blue woods, that's just not right most of the time.
When I started to do photography I told my brother (who is a professional photographer) that I disagree with using computor programmes to edit photos. You have to print the photo you took, because that is the picture you saw at that very moment...then....I got Adobe photoshop....and i l o v e i t !!!!
for me it is more to capture the beauty and then to edit it according to my mood that specific moment...love it! xx
