Here is the new challenge to practice basic processing skills for your digital photos. A photo is provided and you will use a total of five processing steps (i.e. crop, contrast, saturation, clone, etc.) to put your own touch on it. Please list the editing steps you used. A group of winners will be selected Saturday June 2nd and submitted for voting. The winner will host the next challenge.
@lynnb This is how I do it: right click on photo, choose "save photo as" & save to my computer-then edit & upload it as a daily photo in your project. Hope that helps! :)
@lynnb If you need a higher quality photo left click on the photo, it will take you to the photo's page. Open one of the higher resolution photos and right click it and save. If you are cropping much a 550 x 365 pixel image is not large enough to work with.
Cropped
Curves for contrast
Overall saturation increased
Colour balance to boost blues/reduce yellows
'splatter' filter to create a painting effect
All done in Adobe Photoshop CS
@mikehamm I left the dust sensor in also. I kind of like how the limit of five steps gets you to focus on the best way to get your image across with limited editing.

HDR (one step button), vibrance, matte, burn, smudge Two different editing programs.
- Levels adjust
- Gradient fill tool on grass
- Clone Tree and Sky
