Here is a new challenge to practice basic processing skills for your digital photos. A photo is provided and you have a total of five processing steps (i.e. crop, contrast, saturation, clone, etc.) to put your own touch on it.
Please list the steps you have used.
Tag Photos: 5stepchallenge-10
A group of winners will be picked on Tuesday September 12th. The winner will then post the next photo and host the next challenge.
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 but be sure you have tagged your photograph.
