My first Before & After post!

Original photo did not reflect that actual beauty of the view that I had. I guess I messed up on the camera's settings. However, since I really liked the scenery, thanks to PSE I made it "better," I think! I used just about all the adjustment levels, sharpened it, photo filter, took out the blurry bird..what else? Not too bad, I think. Suggestions always welcomed!!!

After


Photo taken at Ventura, California State Beach. Gorgeous day in CA!

Great job! Love what you can do with a not-blue-enough sky in PSE. Amazing, isn't it?

Smile To Val

Val,
I just checked out your gallery....every picture is just beautiful. Okay. One of my favorites is the stained glass one with the pretty flowers...pansies, maybe? Okay...where can I find that tut? Just lovely how you created that!

Again, every pic in your gallery is amazing.

Take care,
Sela

Hi selawela,
love the after picture. Amazing what you were able to accomplish.
It's just great.

As to the stained glass --- a lot of people use this tutorial on Jo's website.

There are 4 of them; easy and more complex.
They are really fun to work with.
Have fun.

That is a wonderful job. My husband and I just looked at the photo and want to be there. We are having high and humid temperatures in Vancouver right now. Those colours are beautiful.

Thanks for your kind words. I see that Marie has given the link for the tutorial (thanks!). It was pretty easy to follow and lots of fun. Give it a whirl!
