Photoshop!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Rachel Foster]

Ok, I know this is a very amateurish attempt and needs work, but I discovered the history brush. I LOVE THIS!

I often want to make the background less intrusive. I love this!

Again, this is only offered to...because I'm jazzed! I love this! Even though the original version might be better, I (well, said it before).

Well, tell us how you did it. I've long been curious about the history brush...

From the various history states, select one 'prior' to your ('radical', usually but not necessarily,) most recent change, and brush in the 'prior' state. It can also be applied to a 'new/future' state, which gets over-written by the most recent one.

Yes, that's far easier than what I did.

First, I bought "Photoshop for Dummies."

Since I was experimenting, after each alteration I went back with the history brush. Wonderful tool!

[Ken Tanaka]

I know your feeling.

Don't you wish life had a history brush?

[Rachel Foster]

Big time. "Photoshop for life." I like it. But easier, please.

[Nill Toulme]

Enticing but scary thought. I re-watched that movie "The Butterfly Effect" with my teenagers a few weeks ago... ugly.

Nice! :)
I'm currently in vacation so a little rest for my eyes and time to try to help you . Ok, so in my opinion the image is really nice, but you need to improve the main center.
In every photo there is a focus point that will atract the viewer since the first seconds. That will be the main thing you will want to " underline". In this case, it's about the drops. A vignette will be nice, to add depth and more contrast. I preffer the original as the bg is darker , and it makes the drops stand out. :)

[Rachel Foster]

Thank you, and you're right. It is about the drops. I think the bg should be blurred but maybe darker.

Thanks for the input!
