Yesterday I posted a photo for Wordless Wednesday. Here is how I did it. First I took this photo on Christmas day, just before dusk, at my brother-in-law's farm.
Next, I applied Auto Smart Fix to brighten it up just a bit. Then I applied Adjust Color/ColorCurves/Increase Contrast just to give it some pop.
Finally, I applied the Solarize filter in the Adjust Color/Color Curves box. That's when the magic happens. It's very simple, very straight forward. Believe me, if I can do this, anyone can.

Have you started mucking about with skins yet? :)
How cool. I've not tried anything in Photoshop. I always am amazed at the folks that can use that program so well.
Have a terrific day. Big hug. :)
I have the program but don't know how to use it! That's pretty bad.
I love your final photo! It's stunning...
Check out Linda at "Are We There Yet?" (http://mouseski.blogspot.com).
She's really good with the camera, too and is posting some of her photos at "Red Bubble." Maybe you'd like it, too.
~~~Blessings~~~
The middle photo is the one I'd blow up and frame. Love it. Isn't it fun to play around with color and effects?!
That's incredible, Driller! I have Adobe Photoshop and I'd proceed the same way to get a fantastic photo like yours! Isn't it amazing how you can "save" dark photos like that? :)
How fun to see your experiments with PSE ... I love to play with possibilities too ;--)
Hugs and blessings,
that is pretty cool--
my hubby has a degree in fine art photography, in an actual darkroom with chemicals and film. He has several solorized black and white photos that he has done, it is so cool!
