Japanese Plum Tree

Posted on March 30, 2012 by Meghan

I did some more playing around with photographs tonight. I took these photos yesterday at the same time as the hellebores, but I did the photo editing tonight. First I tried the same technique of selectively colorizing a photo, with a more subtle effect since the flowers were white instead of pink.

Next I used a different image to play around with changing the color of the blossoms (from white to pale pink). This one turned out a bit harsher than I like – I need to work on adjusting the different levels to give it a more natural look.

Both of these images were edited using Gimp – a free open source photo editing software that’s comparable to Photoshop (or at least close enough for it being a free program).
