Simple Photoshop Elements Tutorial
Photoshop Elements is my new best friend! I’ve been discovering new ways to digitally alter photos. On my daily walk with the dog, I found these little things that fell from a tree. I have no idea what they are, but they have an interesting shape.
I took a picture with my digital camera. This is the original…

Very boring and dark, right?
In Photoshop Elements the first thing I did was rotate the image 90 degress. ("Image">>"Rotate">>"90 degrees left") Next I lightened the photo (“Enhance”>>“Adjust Lighting”>>“Brightness/Contrast”) Then I went to the “Filter”>>“Artistic”>>then chose the “Poster Edges” option. Voila! Something totally different in less than five minutes…

I printed it out and may add it to the new painting that I’m working on…
