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…
