Moving Mountains - Week Two Continued
Subltle changes were done on this "self-portrait" - I cut the arms and face first and chose: Effects, Manual Color Correction and selected a skin tone color that wasn't too harsh for the blond in my hair. I then cut out the shirt (piece by piece - lol) and applied a sky color to the shirt. I must say that even tho the change in the facial color is slight, it makes my face look more slender (and I'm liking that a lot). I then sharpened the image for the final result you see on the right.
The banana peel on the right below shows that this banana is just a little ripe - all done by cutting the part that I wanted to change the color of and using the Hue/Saturation/Lightness tool on the parts that I cut out. 
This picture took a little more work. I used the Fade Correction feature first, to see if that would enhance the image a bit, which it did. But as you can see in the original image on the left, there is a strange "blob" of color that covers most of the sky. What I did was cut out the sky as much as I could, filled it with white and then used the Manual Color Correction to make the sky blue. I then used the unsharp mask to make the image look crisper. I am quite pleased with the results.
One of my favorite images - the only thing I did on this one was use the Auto-Enhance Contrast and then sharpened once - it seems to have taken the "blur" out.
