A Little Photoshop Fun

Tonight while my husband and son cheered U of L's basketball team on to a win in OT, I played with Photoshop. I started with a photo I'd taken in Madison Indiana last Spring of pretty pink roses peeking through a black wrought iron fence.

First, I filtered the photo with 'glowing edges'. Then I adjusted the brightness. (Click on photos to make them larger.)

Next, I inverted the color. More adjusting of brightness. I think this one has a little watercolor feel to it.

I like all three versions. Of course, no one beats Mother Nature, but playing with the images is fun. I was having so much fun that I created a fourth image from a part of the photo...lots of filtering created the photo at the top of this post. I think it looks a little like a batik on fabric. It's been a long time since I've dabbled with Photoshop. It was fun!
