Photo Lesson #3

[CaliforniaPeggy]

flamin lib has very kindly offered to tutor me on the joys of Paint Shop Pro; today was our third lesson! The learning curve is like Mt. Everest but I am progressing. It is getting easier, thank goodness.

Hope you enjoy these photos! I do prefer my revised version, obviously.

1. Very nice!

The second photo puts more zing into the flower and the background is less distracting. That is my amateurish take, anyway.

2. Thank you so much, my dear Ohiogal!

I absolutely agree with your not-so-amateurish take! I wasn't going to post the original, but flamin lib suggested I should so that you could see clearly what was going on.

I think my photos will gradually get better than they used to be.

3. You made it pop, Peggy!

Very nicely done! Ty for sharing with us!

4. Thanks so much, my dear SheltieLover!

When I actually looked at the new version, I saw what I'd done.......and I laughed to see my progress.

It was a good moment.

It's my pleasure to share.

5. Peggy, you are a remarkably quick study.

Post editing software isn't intuitive, it's like learning a new language.

6. Aw, my dear flamin lib, you are too kind!

But that's really nice of you to say.

I can see my progress and I know I'll get very proficient.......someday!

You're an excellent teacher: patient, thorough, thoughtful............and did I mention patient???

Love the Star Trek quote!
