Roseate Spoonbills in Green Cay Wetlands, Boynton Beach, FL


Original photo



Used Quick Fix, then Lights and Shadows Adjustments

I really liked the posture on this spoonbill so I cropped away the other one. I also used the spot healing brush to remove the shadow line on the top of his head, going into his body, as well as the shadowy leaves at the top and the tail of a white bird on the far right.

File 2 - Transparent Background - I thought it might pick up the background color of this table - It didn't, so I went back to first exercise and used the background color of this page for the background color in Elements. Vignette - Feathering using the Rectangular Marquee tool Inversed Using the Same Colored background used in this table. (Is there anyway of feathering out the edges of the photos so they don't show?) In attempting to find the answer to the above question, I made one more attempt and came in much closer to Kaitlyn with the marquee tool. I see on three sides the edges are almost completely blurred. It seems, that I would need to come too far into her on the left side, if I wanted that photo edge blurred out also. Came in really close and feathered at 200 pix, before Inversing and Deleting
