For this weeks
Texture Tuesday photo, I was having some fun playing with hue/saturation. The theme was pink and I didn't have a great subject for pink, but I had just taken this photo of old bottles and I just love them. Although their original colour is wonderful, I decided to play with them and make them fit the 'pink' theme. :o)

After doing the hue/saturation adjustments, and a bit of a levels adjustment, I added Kim's 'dustyrose' texture a couple of times (see to the left for blend modes and opacity). What better than a pink texture to work into this week's theme!

That is a lot of Pretty Pink!!! Great processing it looks like they should be pink already! Love it.
ReplyDeleteThanks Heather. Playing with the hue/saturation adjustment can be a lot of fun. I also like how Kim's texture cleaned up what you could see outside the window.
DeleteLove the pink!!!
ReplyDeleteThanks. I wouldn't have thought of it without Kim's Texture Tuesday prompt, but it sure was fun to play with the colour!
DeleteBeautiful bottles...love how you turned them pink:)
ReplyDeleteThanks Leah. I've always loved collections of old dusty bottles like that and playing with hue/saturation is just plain fun!
DeleteLovely colors and light.
ReplyDeleteThanks! ;o)
DeleteThe various shapes and sizes of the bottles add plenty of interest and then the pink processing takes the photo over the top!
ReplyDeleteThanks Teresa. Always good to hear what others think about my play therapy. LOL
DeleteWonderful edit! Now if I could only quilt. Well, I am starting with a small art piece.....any day now. LOL
ReplyDeleteThanks Marilyn. You've got me curious about your 'small art piece'. As for the quilting, try it and just have fun playing (don't let the 'quilt police' intimidate you-no rules!).
DeleteI'm taking Kim's mini beginning workshop. Oh, I have SO much to learn! Nice job getting in the pink!
ReplyDeleteThat's a great course. That's how I first started using Photoshop effectively. I had had PS Elements version 1 and then upgraded to version 9 and there had been huge differences. The free Skinny Mini course was awesome. If you can afford it, the Elements class is really good too. It will just take you so much farther. Thanks for stopping by my blog and have fun with your own photography adventures.
