~cooked or cropped photos - post here!-dscf5382.jpg

Not very clear but this one looks like someone holding a newspaper over their head in a rainstorm

I just happen to be going through my photos when I noticed you wondering if anyone had leaf photos........
I have more if you want but do you really want them mixed into this thread?

Love your silhouette shots, joepyeweed!

Great shots too, havalotta! Good spot on the trapped leaf!

Of course! Where else can we post them?

This shot has been cropped to just the reflection; not otherwise processed.

Cool shot of the heron. Try flipping him and re enter it for us.
I think it would look really neat that way. The reeds become his legs!

What programs do you use to make these photos? I have paint and some sort of a basic photo storage system from 2004 that crops and rotates. It does remove redeye if you can line up the + over a red eye. I have difficulty lining up the + over those tiny eyeballs to remove the red. I'd be happy with a photo editing program that let me get rid of red eye but a few fun effects would be welcome. Suggest away and let me know the prices if you remember what you paid.

I have photo impression. It actually came free with my camera, which ironically, cost just as much as the program does. I used it when I first got the camera, and didn't care for it. But now that I woke up and realize what it does, it's pretty cool. http://www.arcsoft.com/estore/photo_products.asp

Some people use GIMP, which is a free program, and similar to photo shop elements. I found it kind of complicated myself. I didn't get the concept of using layers I guess. If you had the time, it would be a nice program, but I just don't have that much time to learn a program, and a half an hour to edit each photo. Photoshop elements runs about $80-$90, alot of people use it, but like I said if it is like GIMP, I don't think I want it, and it also consumes alot of memory and needs alot of RAM. Photo impact by Corel is also popular. I want to get this but my computer won't support it. I have a friend who uses it, and loves it. Also around $80. Most of these have free trials you can download and try for a month too which is nice. For HDR, I use Photomatix. easy to use, and easy to download. Took about 10 minutes to have it up and running on dial up. I dunno, it doesn't watermark my HDRs either so I will continue to use the free version. I'm really starting to get the hang of it. I can't wait for fall, because it's going to make for some great landscape editing. I used it on a few older fall landscapes and it is awesome. From what I have read on photo forums, it is all the rage right now, and what people are buying as far as prints go.
