WEEK FOUR

Selective Adjustments : Marquee Selection

Flower After Adjustments

I used the Magic Wand to select the flower and the bud next to it;
Inverted the selection, adjusted the colour balance and colour contrast;
Inverted the selection, adjusted the colour of the flower and made it a creamier colour (Sorry, but I have forgotten how I did that);
Merged all layers;
Clarified the photo; and
Applied the unsharp mask - the end result speaks for itself.

Selective Adjustments : Partially Erased Adjustment Layer
Flower Before Adjustments

I clarified the photograph;
I opened a new layer, brightness and contrast and adjusted the background so that it became more visible; and
I used the eraser and erased that part of the the adjustment layer that was over the flowers.
