HAPPINESS IS... #5

Happiness is...


...a lit candle in the dark.

I have pretty basic Photoshop skills but slowly I'm trying to learn the different Photoshop tools and functions and how to apply them into digital photo editing.  My most recent find is the color replacement tool.  As example, in the picture above, I wanted to put emphasis on the pink candle, and so I used the color replacement tool to create a somewhat faded, black and white background, leaving the candle in the center as the only colored image in the picture.  The same tool can be used too, say, in a photo you want to change the color of your shirt from blue to red ☻

  6. Like they say "pretty in pink" It seems to be true with your photoshop work on your candle. My photoshop is in my other computer which my kiddo has invaded so I get less and less time for this sort of thing but I remember how pleased I was while tinkering with such a delightful computer program.

    Hi, I'm joining Happiness is... for the first time today. Looking around for the linky. My share is here: http://www.mylittleprofessor.info/?p=171
