Here are pictures of daisies three ways I took on the Mill A Loop trail in Bend, Oregon. I used Corel PaintShop Pro 2021 to do the photo processing.
The first two show the original photo compared to a soft focus adjustment. I think it works well for these soft flowers.
The second two show the original photo compared to a colored edges effect. I like to draw and this effect created a work of art, minus all the erasing I usually do. 😉

I admit, I tend to use the same settings on my photo editing program. It was a fun challenge to showcase daisies three ways while exploring some of the other options.

Interesting results. 😊
I love last photo with the water effect. Cool!!
Thanks, Lisa! I'll have to try that one with different pictures.
What an interesting project to edit the same photo in different ways! I think I like the soft focus the best although the others are effective too :)
It's one of the newer photo challenges, one I hadn't tried yet. The soft focus fit that photo well. 🙂
I think I'll give that challenge a go too!
These are beautiful. I like how different the feel of each of your creations is from the others.
Thanks! It was a challenge to narrow it down to only three techniques.
