Touch-Up Tuesday

It's Touch-Up Tuesday time!

I took this picture last night.  Not bad.  A little glaring.  Liked the little bugs.  :)

In Photoscape I:

Sharpened
Darkened and Deepened
Ran Velvia, Provia and Portra film effects on Low
Put a bloom on the bug's back
Added frame and watermark

I like it better, but I think I could have whitened the flower some more... being as it's white. ;)

So, what's your edit this week? Link up at Karli's.

  1. Oh hee hee! You BEAT me! :-) This is a beautiful shot. I tried to take a picture of a similar (or maybe the same) flower a couple weeks ago, and I just coudln't get it right. (I'm serious...it's hiding out in my recycle bin). Your edit is lovely, and I have to say...your SOOC is pretty darn good too! :-) I'll have the link up in a few... LOL! :-)

  2. Adeena! Your edit is wonderful, I love the added sharpness and contrast.

    Thanks for your compliment on the crispness of my self-portraits. A number of blog friends asked about that, so I just wrote up a new post giving away all my secrets. Hope you find it helpful.

  5. Nice!
    Basically every picture I ever put up is SOOC because I am LAAAAZY like that.
    Did you even set your post up to publish at just after midnight or were you up that late doing it?

  6. That's so pretty! I love the little bugs... they are cute, despite my overall hatred of bug-kind.

    I like the original, too! The SOOC is awesome, and your edits just enhanced it. :)

  7. ^ Kate - I *did* set it up to post at midnight... but, I was also up that late. XD

    Don't start editing your pics... 'cause once you do, it's so addicting! ;)

  8. I have very similar photos and they make for a great subject. I love what you've done here - kinda vintage, mysterious. Nice work.

  9. I love the deeper green and the way the bugs "pops" now! Nice edit! It's so fun to see everyone's own interpretation of post processing!
