This afternoon my sister-in-law showed me a few tricks using photoshop. I know next to nothing about photoshop but I know that this program and I could have a very good relationship if I ever figure anything out. After learning just a few small tricks, I've already spent a good hour playing around with it. Love me Photoshop! Love me the way I know I will love you. Here goes my first shot at it:

Rendering a lens flare and increasing the saturation of certain parts of the image using the lasso.

Another lens flare, fun stuff!

Using the "quick selection tool" to fade the saturation of an image except for one detail... the flower.

I plan on learning more.
