Well, I did warn you that I may use this second year of 365 to occasionally revisit older images!
This was one of my first shots with my first digital SLR and before I had any idea of what I was doing with the thing. For some reason, I really liked the image even though it was a tiny file size, way too noisy, had a bad color cast... So I spent a few minutes to upsize, denoise, color correct, etc. to see if I could make any improvements at all, an exercise in editing. Still far from perfect, (rather bad image quality actually!) but it does at least look a little better than before, believe it or not. And I did learn a thing or two with the resize tool, so that was worth the time anyway.
Glad you explained, would have wondered why you had the temerity to post such as this.;)
The shot shows such character, as well as being good technically. I echo @lorihiro. . in wishing I were fractionally as talented.
It's a terrific shot, Jenn, very interesting. I think it's perfect to use Round Two as an editing experience. And I'd like to know more about how to do resizing.
it's be nice if you'd reference the earlier date if was posted (if my understanding is right and you did post it before), I tried looking by the tag but didn't find the earlier posting to compare. Very nice.
@reba Oops, my apologies! What I meant was that I may go through some older images I have at home that I haven't done anything with yet, or had forgotten about, or on which I'd like to try new editing techniques... Not that they'd been posted before--My bad!!! ...but you're super sweet to actually go back through my project and checK! :-) SORRY ! ! !
@ellen@aikimomm Making an image smaller is pretty easy. It's enlarging them that gets tricky because the software has to actually add pixels therefore it needs to be pretty good at guessing what they should be. I have Topaz Resize for such a thing and it works really well!
Thanks for the info. Sounds like it might be useful for enhancing old crappy photos that someone has scanned in at a low resolution? Is it a plug-in? I tried googling it to see if maybe I might buy it, and it wasn't obvious to me
@ellen@aikimomm Oops!!! I said Topaz Resize when really I meant OnOne Resize. Got my plugins mixed up. Gah! My bad.

Not cheap, but if you need to make a lot of large prints from too small of files, it's worth it. It does a really nice job, I think.
xxoo

OK, how about those SOONERS?? I'm home, exhausted, and thrilled. It was awesome.
I'll post today's picture tomorrow, after I get some sleep!
great shot lady...
