The magic of technology

Several years ago, when I bought a new printer, I also received a complimentary version of Photoshop Elements. I have thoroughly enjoyed using it over the years, though I am by no means an expert, nor do I know how to use all of the things this wondrous program can do. Nonetheless, I can do some interesting work in this application, and today you get the joy, honor and privilege of a demonstration.

You will notice at the top right of this page a section called "Followers". There had been a photo of someone so indistinct that one might think the individual was in a witness protection
program.
Through the magic of technology, I was able to bring that photo onto my desktop and lighten it up considerably. It didn't look super, but at least one could see that it was a rather attractive, wind-blown young lady.

I then had the idea for this posting, and asked the young lady's permission. She said ok, and offered to email me an original JPEG, which she did.

I was then able to load the new pic into Photoshop, and try to work some wonders. Here is the result:



I must confess that using a comb and brush on a photograph was rather tricky. Incidentally, take a look! She now has used the new photo in the "Followers".
