Edit Me Challenge time! I love the darling little sheep in this picture.
For this enchanting image I first adjusted the curve levels to lighten and brighten the image.
Next I adjusted the contrast levels by color. I'm not sure what to call it, but the plug-in I use in Corel Photo-Paint calls it Contrast Balance. That brought out the red in the brick and yellow in the grass.
I like the light reflecting off of the windows, so to draw the eye a bit I applied a dodged effect to each window.
And for my final touch I used another plug-in to apply an effect called Mountain, which brightened the color and added a little pop to the image.
Here is the before:
And here is the after:
I do love how the colors pop! And I'm with you on the sheep... so cool.

Lovely bright, fresh edit!
ReplyDeleteOh you've brought out the colour of the stone so well in the castle and the colour of the sheep is much improved. Lovely edit.
ReplyDeleteThank you! It is so fun editing such pretty pictures like this one. It's a little virtual journey around the world. :)
ReplyDeleteLove the warmth of the castle standing out from the starkness of the landscape.
