Thanks for the comments guys but compared to you my photos are crap hehe. Love the photos in this thread. I need to keep learning.

I wouldn't be so quick to knock your photos :)

Though, I know what you mean, when looking at others pictures, I always feel like min are lacking, or over processed, or... something.

I've been a fan of yours for a long time. Since, pretty much 2001. The ol' Theme'ing Windows XP days. I don't know if you'll remember me, but I used to go my the name Xcert.

Great, I'll un-purple-ize it a bit, and finish the trees. I'm sure there has to be a better way than layer mask and brush, but I haven't found it yet.

I tend to take my photos about one step to far though. I was about to save, and then I randomly added that dark layer on top :rolleyes:.

Before saving I should press ctrl+alt+z a few times. :laugh:

I do love -Kol's images though, I have a bunch printed in my room.

If you're unfamiliar with photoshop, i would suggest using camera raw for your jpg's. If you go into photoshop preferences, then file handling and check open jpg in camera raw that should work for you. It's alot easier to find things and is very powerful. On the right hand side, near the top you will see buttons for different categories, if you click HSL / Grayscale then click the saturation tab, you can completely remove the purple and add more blue. Of course this can be done in photoshop as well, but i find camera raw has most things you need for photo editing and it's easier to locate. Hope this helps. You don't have to customize your images according to what we think, by all means experiment a bit and have fun! Here is a quick readjustment i made to it.

Thanks for the tip, I was wondering how to get camera raw open.

I do know how to do that much in photoshop though, and I purposely adjusted with the colour balance tool. IMHO the trees in mine look a bit "painted". I added a bit of magenta and red to the picture.

Do you like it with a more realistic colour as opposed to to the tinting I did. I was thinking overall it was good, I just needed to "un-purple" it a smidgen.

This is what the camera actually took (For a colour comparison):

Yeah the pic was good, it's just a matter of personal opinion. I think outdoor shots such as this should stick with a realistic color because especially being that this is a farm type scene, it has alot of really rich colors that can make the photo stand out. But again, just mess around with it and have fun, it doesn't have to look like mine, or what anyone else wants, just mess around and see what you can come up with. The only reason i commented on the original picture was because it seemed like the whole picture was washed out but there was alot of light on the ball of hay, so it didn't look natural at all.

Quick pic of my dog. Snapped it when she was waking up. Usually she is not this calm. She is always doing something that **** me off LOL. Love her. :D

Lol, nice pic KoL.

My dog acts the same. Miniature Pinscher... She's all over the place, jumping on the sofa and running everywhere. It's almost impossible to have a non-blurry picture of her :)

    • RevPDF 4.5.0

      By Copernic · Posted

      RevPDF 4.5.0 by Razvan Serea RevPDF is a free, fully offline PDF editor for Windows, macOS, and Linux that lets you edit text and images directly inside PDF files — no internet connection, no account, and no cloud uploads required. Unlike bloated alternatives that demand subscriptions and constant connectivity, RevPDF fits in under 60MB on desktop while delivering a complete editing toolkit: annotate, redact, sign, compress, split, merge, convert, and reorganize pages, all processed locally on your device. Smart font matching ensures edited text blends seamlessly with the original, and multi-language support includes RTL scripts such as Arabic and Hebrew. Where most PDF editors force you to choose between features and simplicity, RevPDF manages both. You can build interactive forms from scratch with text fields, checkboxes, and dropdowns, permanently redact sensitive data before sharing, draw freehand on contracts and diagrams, and add custom watermarks — all without a single file leaving your machine. Edit Text and Images Directly Inside PDFs RevPDF supports true inline PDF editing — not just annotation layers on top of a document, but actual modification of existing text and images within the file. A smart font-matching engine identifies the font used in the original document and applies it automatically when you make edits, so changes blend naturally with the surrounding content. You can reposition elements, resize images, and update text across single pages or entire documents. RevPDF 4.5.0 release notes: This is one of the biggest updates to RevPDF yet. A lot of things people have been asking for are finally here. New Features Auto Redaction Permanently redact sensitive text and areas from your PDFs before sharing. Clean, irreversible, and fully offline. Comments, Links & Bookmarks Add comments for review, insert clickable links, and create bookmarks to jump around long documents without scrolling forever. Find & Replace Search across the whole document and replace text in one go. Long overdue. Split Pages Vertically or Horizontally Split any page down the middle, vertically or horizontally. Perfect for scanned books or double-page spreads. New Drawing Tools More tools for freehand drawing and markup, better for annotations, sketches, and detailed notes. Continuous Scrolling in Editor The editor now scrolls continuously through pages instead of jumping between them. Working through long documents is a lot smoother now. PDF Metadata Editor View and edit the metadata stored inside your PDFs, including title, author, subject, and keywords. Better Font Matching Text edits now blend in more naturally by doing a better job of matching the original font. Tabbed PDF Viewer Open multiple PDFs at once in tabs and switch between them without going back to the home screen. Add Links Insert hyperlinks anywhere in your PDF, to external URLs or to other pages within the document. Share & Print Shortcuts Share or print directly from the editing screen, home screen, and viewer. No extra steps. Minor Updates Paste images directly from clipboard into your PDF New image editing tools for more control over images inside documents Bug Fixes Fixed file saving issues on Windows and Linux Everything still works fully offline. No login, no cloud, no account. Your files stay on your device.

      Interesting. I'm not using a VPN with my phone. I tried though my home internet (Rogers) and my cellular internet (Telus) and both trigger the dialog above.
