@mrssmith Necessity is the mother of invention! This has probably been the most boring winter I have ever lived through!! So season for a season's sake was out. Thus, another definition of season must emerge! Thanks Carla! @karenann When in doubt- either use hypnotic or invert! Thank you Karenann! @httpgeffed Thanks Colleen! I was trying to keep it interesting.
@sarasdadandmom Thank you Terry! I had taken some straight on but they were too typical. @digitalrn Thanks Rick! The inversion really added some intensity to them.
@michaelelliott Thanks so much Michael! I wanted something a little different (got that for sure!) so after boosting the color a little in the original shot, I followed my usual path of trying this and trying that in the processing. I wonder what this would look like inverted led to the colors you see now and it was the pop I was looking for. Definitely a spicy shot!
Very nice! Love how you changed the picture's style to bright, neon colors - really shows the personality of each object. :) Very different, so I like it.
@tanyasamol lol Tanya! The only cause of their flourescence is my handy-dandy processing (thank goodness!). @steeler Thanks Howard! @photobutton Thank you Siv! I use Picnik premium right now and probably will be using it for quite some time because it is so affordable. In this particular shot, I was experimenting somewhat so I'm not sure exactly what I ended up doing, but I think I did two things for certain. First I gave the color a boost (either using vibrance, boost, or just heating up the color in the basic edits) and then I inverted the colors. When you invert the colors, they come out in the color opposite of the colors in the original shot. I finish the photo off with a frame. My "favorite" is the basic border frame. I always pull out colors from the photo for those. In this shot I used the black of the background and the orange-red of the cloves bottle. I love trying different things in processing. Sometimes the effects just make me laugh- they make the photos look so different! @rmcbuckeye Thanks Rachel! I liked it too- I felt it matched the idea of a "season" giving something flavor.
@alia_801 lol Alia- you too can invert the colors of your spice jars and bring out some amazing colors! All you need it a handy dandy package of Picnik Premium Effects!
@bruni Thanks Bruni! In the original shot, the jars are basically earth tones (except for the "orange" one which is really blue). I boosted the original shot just a bit and then used the "Invert" effect, which basically takes original color and makes it the opposite color on the color wheel (thus the blue becomes orange; white becomes black, etc.). Try an experiment: take a picture of something (or several items) in your home that is a very bright or vivid color, upload it to Picnik and then use the Invert effect and see what happens. That will give you a feel of what you can do with it in the future.

What do you use when you process?
@steeler Thanks Howard!
