All the while i never used it , seeing so many features on that , it looked very clumsy with so many buttons. I used a simpler tool called Picasa but then when there were limitations to what i could do in Picasa i searched for a different tool. And the different tool was Photoshop , back to square one !!!! Hmmmm.....
After seeing so many photographs with selective coloring i really wanted to really try it myself but all the previous failed attempts in photoshop lead me to dissapoinment.But finally one day after lot of googling i sucseeded . I am still not aware of so many things ,just trying my hands !!! There are lot of things you can do to a photo using photoshop ,but the best i like is selective coloring like the one below.

same here! i always reach out for the simpler picasa :) should try this sometime :D thanks!
u know, in a way I feel the art of photography is a bit diminished these days.. given that, u can take an ordinary photo and use these software and technology to make it look amazing!
But I love those classic photography.. the wildlife ones and all that!! But technology does begin to make a difference, whether we like it or not.
OK. Good. But, did u ask the man in the photo before catching him on your cam? ;-)
Kishore :I agree with you !!
Mahen :This was supposed to be a Candid shot so i didnt ask him ..heee heee .. Its really nice to capture people in their natural poses !!
