I like it in color better, just b/c the flowers are so intense

Fixing photos uses some of the same principles as coloring; most importantly, good photo fixing uses selections.

To adjust color or contrast or the like on the whole image, go to Image --> Adjustments and select a function that suits what you need to do. Generally, I use the functions "Levels", "Color Balance", and "Hue and Saturation" the most. (On this image, I used only levels and Hue/saturation.) These work great for improving crappy scans, too.

If you have an unbalanced image, i.e. one that has a washed out foreground and a dark background, select one of the areas and then do your adjustment. Vioala! The adjustment only will affect the selection. Then select --> inverse, usually, and fix the other section as needed. Some clone tool usage may be necessary to make things blend properly, but that's pretty much the gist of it.

Of couse, that works for fixing crappy lighting and the rest. My mom, on the other hand, does SERIOUS photo fixing, including cleaning of old, dirty images, red-eye elimation, tooth whitening, and blemish removal. I don't understand how to do any of THAT. XD

Rome and Vienna were my favorite cities on our trip. Rome's such a quirky city; you've got to love a place where ancient monuments just sit in a tiny square tucked away in a random part of the city.

There's a tool specifically for red eye? I think my mom just uses the airbrush and clone tools for that stuff!

I have written a quick plotline for a new story (inspired by, but not a remake of, the Goodbye Hotel story that I never finished), and I have decided to completely re-write a story Justin and I wrote a long time ago. I lost the origional so, it will be whatever I remember mixed in with all new material. If I post that I'll give him writing credits. The second one is really short and is about halfway done.
