Jon Searles' photos with the keyword: edit

I decided given the way their colors stood out against the faded, drab parts of the building, the flowered required a high-saturation edit in Gimp.

While I was editing this shot in Gimp, I felt that while I had done a lot of high-saturation edits in the past two years, one more wouldn't hurt.

Here's the second edit to Picture 2. I basically used the same technique as on Picture 1 to get a better edit, bumping up the black level on the despeckle tool in Gimp. I like this shot of St. Paul's, too, and it was shot on the same night as Picture 1, right after I more or less stumbled upon it while wandering London at night.

Having practiced more with the despeckle tool in Gimp, I decided to edit this horrible scan yet again to see if I could make it less bad. Luckily, I managed to get some semi-decent results. I hope you like how it looks now. :-) Designed by Sir Christopher Wren to replace the original St. Paul's Cathedral destroyed in the Great London Fire of 1666, although that earlier St. Paul's, built in 1087-1314, had actually been the fourth cathedral to sit on this site and some historians believe that the site has Roman Pagan origins. There was a church built here at least as early as 604 AD, supposedly on an ancient Roman See. In any case, as a photo, this is one of my all-time favorites, and I hope you like it too.

Because I liked the contrast of the colors with the snow, I decided to put Picture 3 into Gimp and crank the contrast and the saturation up, thus producing this.

Not completely satisfied with my more realistic edit, I decided to do a super saturated version of Picture 15 to see what people would think of it.
