Photoshop fun

I'm teaching myself some VERY basic photoshop techniques, techniques that today's kids probably know how do as soon as they're born. Anyway, here they are:

This beauty is the original. (It's an osteopermum, in case you're wondering. Or for the common knuckledragger, a daisy.)

Here's what I did to it:

You will never find this color. At least not yet. I love it.

Now, this color DOES exist in nature. Why I felt to make a yellow daisy, I'm not sure. But I was experimenting, so shut up.

I also screwed around with Gerbera Daisies (these ones aren't so good):

This is the original red gerbera daisy.

This is the daisy after I messed with it ... looks like it went on an acid trip. FREAKOUT!

This model is in an orange color. You can see twinges of pink on the edges of the bottom petals. Contrary to what you're thinking, this is a common trait in Gerberas. This was my best alteration.

I think an ink pen threw up on this one. Poor thing - ink is virtually IMPOSSIBLE to remove.

And that concludes another edition of "Things I Do When I'm Bored." Join me next time as I attempt to make three houses, one each of sticks, bricks and straw.
