Playing

I haven't posted to this blog for a while as I have been concentrating on the 365 and @thebrownbarn so I thought I would try some new effects in Photoshop Elements 7. I was bored waiting for a train and snapped a few pictures to play with.

The originals...

For the top picture, I cranked up the saturation and fiddled with the hue and temperature which got me this:

A little funky, but I liked it so I put a Neon Edges filter on it and tweaked to this:

I kind of like this one better. 

For the bottom picture, I tweaked the sharpness and added a small amount of saturation. Then I hit it with the liquefy tool. I think I will be using this more often, I love the warp.

I also de-saturated one, But it is not as good as shooting B&W in-camera. 

I also played quite a bit with the contrast, but still don't really like it. 

I should play like this more often!!
