Brightening Up.


The Good: After running errands today, I drove up to Bentonville to view a bit of fall color. A deer posed for me! The light was already fading so this picture was a shade dark, but I was able to lighten it in Photoshop.

Yes, I am using Photoshop again, because my Movavi software trial expired on the same day I got an email for a trial version of Photoshop CC. I'm not sure whether I'll subscribe yet. I really don't see where it's better than Photoshop CS6, and I'm not a fan of paying a monthly fee. I may just revive my old CS6, which is already paid for.


The Random: The old Henkel Press sign in New Market has been revived after decades of fading.


In 2016, I posted this photo of the ghost sign. It dates to the 1930's. I read that restoration was done by Fine Line Architectural Detailing.

The Fun: I grabbed a shot of graffiti on a passing train on Saturday. I did not have time to get an overall shot (through a fence), but the message Happy Halloween was painted on the railroad car.

  5. What a difference on that sign! My son still needs to show me how to use Photoshop, he put it on my computer but I've not really looked at it. Always love seeing your photos!

  6. Love the before and after shots of the brick sign...that must have been very laborious to paint on the bricks! Great pumpkin caught on the train!

  7. Love the autumn colours Linda and that they've restored the ghost sign. You did well to catch the happy 🎃 as it flew past ☺ Like Sami I also use Picasa for editing, nice and simple and free!

  11. I know that it's bad of people to paint graffiti on trains, but sometimes they do have a lot of imagination. There are so many opportunities to be constructive and paint where it's wanted, it's sad some people still thoughtlessly deface private property.
