Photo Editing Exercise

Original Picture

Cropped Version

Edited Version # 1: Through FotoFlexer, I started with the autofix. This brightened the picture. Afterwards I increased Saturation to 25.00 and Hue to 9.00. I followed with an effect called Lomoish which added opaque edges around the picture giving it a tunnel-like effect. This brightened the colors even more.

Edited Version # 2: I began again with autofix. I also played around with the contrast to 7.00 and the brightness to 10.00. I used the Comic effect and adjusted to the middle of the scale minimizing the very cartoon-like effect. I decided to add text and left the background of the text white to add to the cartoon look. Once this was done, I increased the Saturation to 65.00.
