From the archives come a Photoshop before and after from last summers trip to Block Island, Rhode Island.
First I straightened the image about 2 degrees clockwise. I was a little off kilter taking the picture. Then adjusted the levels and curves. The swimmers in the water were bothering me, so I cloned them out.
I’ve learned some things since then, one I would decrease the saturation after resizing. Another change, instead of sharpening I use the unsharpen mask, seems to work cleaner. But overall, I like the bottom version better, what do you think?

I love how all the colours have come out on your procdessed image – the sky, the water, the seaweed and especially the hull of the boat. That is the sort of thing that I like to do with my photos to really lift the contrast, personally I think it looks a lot better.
I need to learn how to clone things out of images.
Thnaks, now that I look at it again, I think it’s too contrasty and I don’t necessarily like my whites. I think I could probably bring down the yellow in select color. May have another whack at it. I can never leave well enough alone.

I just purchased Photo Shop Elements … loaded into my computer and have no idea where to begin. Any suggestions? I usually can figure software out, but I am lost. Blessings! Catherine http://www.praycookblog.com or email catherinecooking@gmail.com
I love being able to straighten things a degree or two. Block Island is one of my favorite places in the world.
I know, it often makes all the difference in the world. I do believe I have a photo of that same stone tower. BTW, do you know what they are officially called?
