physalis

Lovely close up,Pimp..:o)

Supreme!

Thank you..I took on board some of your advice 7....instead of using Paint to touch up I did a better job in Photoshop..

Cracking shot!

Does photoshop have a cloning tool? That's what I used to lose the unwanted stem on this..........

Thanks Meanie.

I genuinely am not familiar with photoshop, this is the first time I have used it...Nothing is changed on the actual Physalis itself, that is as taken. It is eliminating blemishes and shadows on the background I have been doing..Once you fix one bit it creates a problem elsewhere. I have just been using the pippet and brushes still, but there are so many more to choose from. There was a much better version of my Daffs pic that was rubbish..I have spent 3 hours on it even colouring individual pixels...Now it is my screen saver..

I can't your link...I will be having a good fiddle with some bad pictures in photoshop I think

That's why I suggested the clone tool - I can see the work in the photos background.

Here's the full link............

Got it! I remember them. I will have a go at that.

I had to blow it up to 4 or 500% to do it neatly, but it's easy enough!

All good Pimp & Meanie I'm learning from you here. Experimenting with blurs and fades might be an option for hard stems, adding to a looming feel which is perfect in this picture.

Just posted the Daff shot I nearly deleted cos the background was so bad..
