A challenge... by marlboromaam

A challenge...

No need to comment. This is a learning process for me and it's been a real challenge. So used to how Photoshop and On1-10 work and where all the tools are, etc.

I shot this image in raw and it was edited in On1 Raw 2023. Probably the worst shot to begin with to learn this software, but have to get ugly backgrounds to learn the different blurs and how much to blur, etc. The AI does a pretty good job of selecting what you want to blur and what you want to mask out, and what it doesn't select can be done with a brush. I imagine it's about the same way with the new PS which requires a subscription which I'm not happy about... after owning and updating my PS for years and years.
I see what you mean Mags, still I think it is a lovely shot of the rose.

@ludwigsdiana Thanks, Diana! Appreciate that.

Very nice. I agree with you about subscriptions,

Nice tones of red and green… I always find it difficult to get a good color shot of our red roses.

PS is great if you have an idea and skills. For regular editing, I prefer to use LR. And PS I'm still learning and I'm always behind.

@larrysphotos Thank you, Larry.

@kvphoto Thank you very much, KV. I try to shoot reds in the shade or on cloudy days. I think that works better than direct light. But that's just me.

@haskar I prefer my old PS and my old On1, but now I've got to learn the new On1 Raw. It doesn't require a subscription.

I think you did great though I wish you hadn’t blurred the stem

It’s a floating rose now! Good on you for challenging yourself and trying new things.

Lovely shot and editing. I have never tried On1-10.

@jgpittenger Thank you, Jane. If I have time, I'll do it again. I need to practice. =)

@ljmanning Thank you, Laura.

@wh2021 Thank you. It's On1 Raw now. They quit updating On1-10.

This is beautiful but I feel it needs a stem

@kjarn LOL! You're like Jane. Thank you, Kathy.
