April Olive

These are really good, Garlic stuffed and they make for very strong breath, which makes it fortunate that everyone in my family loves them and then after they are gone, the juice pickles up a jar full of hard boiled eggs.

Fortune and olives are alike: sometimes a man has an abundance and other times not any.

while i love garlic, i'm not such a fan of olive. but i do drink olive oil once in a while. nice perspective. and hey, i notice you are getting good with this selective colouring thing. good on you, dixie.

@summerfield once you figure out how it works it is really just having a steady hand on the mouse, but you know if you can't color inside the lines it is Ok to draw new lines.

Now I wish I knew how to change the color, instead of just take a color picture and turn it to black and white and then put some color back in

@pandorasecho - ah, for that we have to ask ann. what i have done before is turn something into black and white. then go back and use the colour palette. i'm a sloppy colourer though.

I have never pickled eggs. But I love pickled food and eggs...so would probably love them. How long does it take to pickle them? And olives in our house are a STAPLE item! We never can run out...so that quote is not true for us. haha

My Grandma pickled eggs in the brine left from Pickled red beats or dill pickles, but I love the olive juice the best. I like leaving them in about 10 days but my son frequently devours them before that. @espyetta

Vikki is right- you have become more than sufficient in the selective coloring process! I haven't tried changing the color of something yet. I tried to figure it out once by just fooling around with the effect but I couldn't figure out how the program was determining the hue, so I thought I'd go back to it at some point and haven't tried it again. I'm sure there's a tutorial somewhere or someone on here knows how. As for olives- this is nicely done. I've never been a fan of them by themselves, although I don't mind them mixed in with other things- as in a salad. Good shot!
