PHOTOSHOP in Postcards 4

I’ve been having fun relearning how to use Photoshop. Poor George. “Where do I find….?” Is the often asked question these days. He’s been very patient with me. If I could only retain what he tells me, all would be fine.

I chose two pictures to play with. This first one is of my grandma Mary Belle Harrington Barnum. It was taken in San Diego on her first visit. It’s a good studio photograph, but I wondered what the image would look like if cropped tighter. I did that, removed all the little dust specks that I could see and increased the contrast.

The second photograph was taken just to play with. For some reason, I am often drawn to the shapes of the Point Loma lighthouse in its landscape.

I did much as I did with grandma Mary. This time I straightened it first then cropped it. I used the clone tool to remove many of the branches from the tree to the left. I also increased the contrast. I’ll probably go back and take out more branches before I am done.
