This picture was taken in my yard of a scarecrow we have on a tree. In this photo I used the adjustments panel to change the color of the background. I selected the parts I wanted to be black and white and changed just the selected each sides of the tree/scarecrow and changed those side parts to be black and white.

 

This picture was captured at the South Natick Falls looking out on to the Charles River. In this photo I used to the highlights and shadows adjustments. This was done to change to remove the shadows on the trees and in the leaves.

 

This picture was taken at Tilly & Salvy’s in pumpkin patch in Natick. I used a new adjustment layer and the magic wand selection tool, to change the color of the pumpkin.

This picture was taken of a tree in front of Natick High School. I used the leaf shaped brush tool to add some light, faint colored leaves the image.

This picture was taken at Tilly & Salvy’s in pumpkin patch in Natick. In this photo I created an action through the actions panel. Then I applied the action to this photo. First I added a color fill of a light pink color, and changed the blending mode to be multiply. Then I adjusted the hue and saturation on a new layer and adjusted the brightness and contrast on a new layer. I also increased the vibrance on a new layer of the photo.

 

This photo was taken of a tree in front of Natick High School. On this photo I used the history brush tool and the history panel. I originally changed the hue and saturation, contrast and brightness and the exposure of the image.  I did not like the look of the results, so I used the history panel to remove all effects and start a new. Then I increased the saturation by a smaller amount, and increased both the brightness and contrast to display the image how I liked it. Next I created a new layer and changed the color of the layer to be an orange color and multiplied the color throughout the image. I did not like this color overlay so I used the history brush tool to remove the color. Lastly, I created a new layer again and applied a lighter and softer orange color multiplied through the image.
