Diagonal Rule

I took this picture on 11.3.10 at about 5:30 and my camera was on auto. I was walking around trying to find something for scale and diagonal rule and took a picture of the wheelbarrow just cause.
The first thing I did was use the clone stamp tool to get rid of the letters and stuff that was on the wheelbarrow. Then I used the crop tool a little. Then I changed the curves a little and set the color balance to -15, 0 and +13. Then I hid the background layer and merged all the others together. Then I made a copy of that layer and changed the curves more to make the grass greener and merged the new stuff into one layer. Then I used the eraser tool to get rid of the wheelbarrow in the 2nd layer (it looked wierd and greenish by now) so it was the wheelbarrow from the 1st edited layer. Then finally I used the burn tool on the background trees and the wheel of the wheelbarrow. I hope that made sense...haha.

I like the edited one a lot more cause the colors are better and stuff. Also the writing on the wheelbarrow seemed kinda distracting.

  1. I like the changes you made to the picture. Although a slightly bland photo at first, the edits you made really made a difference! I like the edited photo a lot!
