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.
Challenge will run between now and midnight PST July 15th. 5 finalists will be selected and posted for voting on July 16th.
The easiest way to copy the photo for your own use: right click on photo, choose "save photo as" & save to my computer -- then edit and upload it as a daily photo in your project. You can then post your edited photo and 5 steps in this discussion thread.
Please tag your photo: 5stepchallenge-7
I selected the photo below because its something I've been doing for awhile now in which I take a photo of a sign, and then process it to give it my own special touch. I think it will be interesting to see what others would do with it.
Tweets ahoy!
