AB Forum and Cee’s Fun Foto
After:
For this one, I cropped it and made a couple basic adjustments in the Lightroom, then added brick texture on the wall in the Perfect Photo, went back to Lr, decreased the saturation of the wall a little. Voila!
Below is the before version. I was delighted to capture the early morning sunlight reflection and the shadow of the American-Indian pottery and part of the lamp on the wall.
In response to Ben’s After Before Forum (Aperture64). This week, Ben shares “the sudden feeling of spring erupting”. Take a look of how he transformed a flower image.

The freeway photo looks magical, like a fragment from a dream. Or a scene from a dreamy movie. Also, your “after” photo looks somehow dreamlike, the brick texture adding a nice vintage touch. 🙂

Really, Helen? I don’t do editing naturally, it always is a struggle. Often I make it worst. 😉
Thank you for your comment. 🙂

Amy, you don’t know how many times I just wanted to get on a plane to fly to Texas so you can show me how you edit the photo… 😉

Awww… You’re welcome to visit TX. I’d be happy to see you. You probably have noticed that I know minimum and do it just for fun. I often learn about the apps or software (like the Perfect Photo) from bloggers, I then watch online tutorials. 🙂
Do you use PS? I know very little. It seems a lot more complicated than Lr.
Thank you again for your compliment, Helen.

You are so good with all those apps. Every time you mentioned one, I hurriedly checked it out, but it would take me too much time to learn.
I use Photoshop Element (not as hard as Photoshop.) I like to take a class on Lr, but so far haven’t seen one offered here.

I wish I could take a complete lesson- step by step, instead of a piece here and there. I don’t know if I’ll ever find time for that. So many places on my bucket list… 🙂 🙂

For some reason, the texture on photos generally gets good attention. I won’t consider replacing the wall with a brick wall though.
