One Four Challenge Week 4

This week is week 4 of Robyn G’s, with,Captivate Me, One Four Challenge. Below are my edits for the month. This week, the edits I performed on my photo are:

1. I put the photo through Aviary and toned down the saturation from last week.

2. In Aviary, I gave it High Definition.

3. Next, I cropped the image.

4. I toned down some Contrast

5. Then I put it in the editor, IColorama and gave it the Effect/Flow. Which gave it a bit of blurry effect.

Which image is your favorite?

This week is week 3 for the One Four Challenge hosted by Robyn G of the blog:

Captivate Me

On the first week of the month we each select an image that we would like to work with for the month and each week we perform edits to our image. We then publish a post with our new image each new week and explain the edits we have performed for that week. It is a fun challenge learning to use photo editing tools. If you are interested in joining, please click on Robyn's link above.

This week I have chosen to use my photo from Week 2. I edited the photo using Aviary by adding the Effect/Sage, then adding the Enhancement/Portrait. These were the only edits I performed this week. Although I like the sky and the water appearing to be the same color and the foliage appearing thicker, I feel the colors do not look realistic.

The image that I chose for February is called, The River Bridge. I chose a minor edit for the first week. In the photo editor Aviary, I pulled up the image into Enhance and chose Scenery. That's it.

One Four Challenge Week 4

This week is week 4 for Robyn G’s, One Four Challenge, hosted from her blog, Captivate Me. At the begininning of the month we choose a photograph which we will work with for the entire four weeks. Each week we make computer edits to the photograph and publish the newly edited photo for that week each week. In addition, we are to explain the edits which we made (if we can remember). On the 4th week we are to attach a poll to our post for others to vote for their favorite. I am sorry to tell you that I did the edits on my 4th week photo about 2 weeks ago and have forgotten what I did. I think all I did was add more bluing to the water. I apologize for jumping the gun on my 3rd week photo. (I tend to lose the concept of time/day of the month, since I have retired).

This week, for Week 3, I have chosen to put my photo through Photo Shop Express and make it Black and White. That’s it! That is all I have done to my photo for this week.

Robyn G., whose blog is, Captivate Me, hosts the One Four Photo Challenge. We select one photo which we use for all four weeks of the month. Each week we photo edit our selected photo and explain our edits in our post.

This week I have taken the original photo and put it in Aviary > Scenery> Portrait. Next, I put the image in iColorama through Brush > Colorize > Blue (the water only). When I colored the water it also colored the white bubbles in the water. Next, in iColorama, I put the image through Effects > Flow, then Adjust > High. This whitened the bubbles and defined the duck a bit more. I am finding this is a difficult image to photo edit so it will be interesting what the results will be for my next two weeks.
