I Heart Macro 01/29/2012

I have been busy, busy, busy this month and I miss participating with the I Heart Macro group.  I work in payroll and this is a very hectic period for us, what with closing out the previous year, processing W-2's and year end taxes and at the same time, making sure the new years benefits changes are processed timely (whew!).  

I finally snagged some time this weekend to finish my Art Bead Scene January Challenge piece (post to follow this one) and squeezed in time this morning to shoot some pictures for IHM.  Not much verity, but these were the best of the bunch.

I don't think you can see it in the collage, but when I zoomed in to edit, each little seedling had little dew drops on them.

I'm linking up with Lori Plyler of Studio Waterstone for "I Heart Macro" slash "I Heart Close Ups: Up Close Photography for Macro Makers and the Camerologically Challenged"

Come and join in the fun!

Photoshop Lesson

My sweet husband is trying to teach me how to edit my jewelry pictures in Photoshop.  The photo below is from my first lesson, but he did all of the editing, while I observed.  I've been using Picnik to edit my photo's and I have been satisfied, but my husband and daughter use Photoshop and their pictures always look fantastic.

What do you guys think about the different photo editing products that are available?  Picnik is relatively easy to use and has some neat features, but you have to become a paid member in order to access the more advanced features.  Are there other editing products out there that you've had success with?
