Adventures in Photoshop, Part __ ?

Trying to teach myself PS CC is sometimes fun and sometimes sends me screaming into the night. As in last night, trying to correct a photograph of a rose I wanted to have printed and just muffing it up horribly. *le sigh

You did really great job here, turning night into morning)

And, as a semi-offtopic... Did you know that google turned their Nik Collection photoshop filters into freeware? They could come very handy, especially noise reduction and sharpening filters (cough - early season buffy screencaps - cough).
If you are unfamiliar with Nik Collection, here is a video introduction, explaining them.

Thank you! It was actually late afternoon but I apparently moved into a shadow because the other shots of the flowers I took in partial sunlight didn't look this cold and blue, so I was trying to get this one to match the other photos in the set. I think I did an okay job. (the original does look like nighttime doesn't it?)

Now I should try to see if I can do the reverse effect.

A friend of mine just told me about that the other day! I had never even heard of Nik before but I'm starting to download them. He mentioned it and I was like, "for all the supposed sophistication of Photoshop and all the tools and toys I still need to download stuff just to do the basics I want to do?" But thank you very much - and I haven't watched the video intro yet, I'll do so right now.

Hee, I know the feeling.
Well, you can do all that stuff without Nik Collection, but it would take more time (and browsing through the premade filters occasionally gives you new ideas). So, as it's free now, there is no reason not to use it )

I'm actually looking forward to playing around with them. And I am now trying to resist using spicy but hey, sometimes I just have to get stuff done. I'm sure I'll come running to you when I have questions about the Nik collection (you don't mind do you? *lol*)

you don't mind do you?
Not at all)

Those filters sound very interesting; I may have to check them out too. Thanks for the tip!
