gardenwife Workshop Photos Given

All I did was crop the photo so the cubbyholes full of colorful ties were the focal point. I sharpened it just a bit after cropping it. I know some like frames and some don't, but I tried one out here, too.

Cropped, sharpened, added frame

(851) [2007-07-21 16:25:34]

I just did a simple edit in Irfanview, cropping the table and cup out of the left side of the frame. I then sharpened it just a little and added a frame.

Adjusted hue

I adjusted the hue away from its blue bias, increased saturation and contrast. The only other thing I did was sharpen a bit and add the frame.

Closer cropping

I thought this would benefit from closer cropping, adjustment of gamma and contrast, and the addition of a frame.

Wonder why the performer didn't make his legs grey to match his face and hands...

Framing

(851) [2005-05-17 02:37:49]

Just did minimal tweaking, raised gamma a little and framed. It's such a sweet portrait, just needed the focus of a frame, I thought. Used Photofiltre's simple frame filter along with the outside frame tool. Nothing fancy or too bold.

Framed, sharpened edges

Your photo is so striking, I thought it would look even better if framed. I used PhotoFiltre to add a frame:

1. Increased canvas size, adding 2 pixels to each side's measurement. Made the background color black and kept image in the center of the canvas. This framed the image in a thin black line.

2. Increased canvas size a second time, this time adding 20 pixels to each side's measurement. Made the background color white and kept image in the center of the canvas. This framed the image in a wider black line while keeping the first black line within.

3. Did Filter > Frame > Simple Frame and did a 3 pixel black frame, 100% opaque

4. Did Filter > Sharpen > Sharpen Edges to bring out more detail without making everything look too overdone (could have done better with USM in Photoshop - don't have it installed yet).

Hope you like it!

Tighter crop, frame

(851) [2004-09-02 23:43:50] [3]

I thought cropping this image a little more tightly would increase its visual impact. I also desaturated it just a little bit, sharpened the picture, and added a frame.

Simple crop and frame

(851) [2004-09-01 21:11:17] [4]

I thought cropping this a little more would get rid of the distraction in the background and make the dog and his house more prominent. Other than cropping, I sharpened it a little and added a frame. All done in Irfanvew 3.92.

Just a small crop

(851) [2004-08-31 03:06:47] [5]

I cropped your picture just a bit, to focus more on the happy subject. There was a lot going on on the background and I found my eye drawn to the right side of the picture more than to your subject. I also added a simple black frame. Edited in Irfanview 3.92.

Rotated and cropped

Hi, See -

I rotated the photo and cropped it a little so the tower was just a little off center. I also added a frame. This was all done in Irfanview 3.92. It looks like it could use a run through NeatImage to remove some of the JPG artifacts resulting from compression, but I didn't have time to do this.
