Wordless Wednesday: The Bee and the Passionfruit flower
May 27, 2009 under Beyond Singapore
Check out my other WW entry at Pictures and Cultures and other participants at 5 minutes for Mom and at the WW hub
I am trying my hand on photo editing, I looked up photoshop and saw that there’s a free trial so I went for it. I downloaded it and have been playing with the pictures I have taken recently. The passion fruit flower photo was taken at the Desaru Fruit Farm – a fruit farm in Malaysia we recently visited.
I must say I am loving Photoshop CS4 but it’s so expensive 
and that’s making me really sad. I guess I need to find something else to use when the trial expires. Do you have any recommendation on any photo editing software that’s cheap or free? Please let me know on the comments below:)

Very cool shot and effects. Have you ever tried GIMP? It’s a free photo editing software, but it’s not free because it’s low quality, it’s free because it’s open source.

I wish I knew of a program you could use because you did a wonderful job with this! I can’t believe you edited this, it looks amazing! Just a thought, sometimes the expense is worth it when its something we love and are gd at =) Take care!

Gorgeous picture!
Did you find photoshop user-friendly? I always found the older versions difficult to figure out.
Jade on May 27, 2009
@ Run DMT – Thanks;)!
Photoshop …I am still trying to find my way around it. It’s not exactly really user friendly but I am gonna try to check some books on photoshop tutorial. Maybe then I could make use of it better.
Jade on May 27, 2009
@ Tricia – Thanks alot;)!
Jade on May 27, 2009
@ Mr. Muskrat – I will check these software out. I do have Paint.net too – maybe I need to look how I can use it better.
Jade on May 27, 2009
@ Ms. Latina – Thanks! I didn’t do much here actually. Just made it b&w and brought back the color of the subject.

Wow, that’s an amazing shot! You really have a good eye! Thanks for your comment on my blog. I also think crafting a little gift to brighten someone’s day is a great idea. It need not be expensive and you can choose any craft you like!

Jade,
You’re welcome. Good luck with the determining which software suits your needs.
BTW, I just realized that I didn’t actually comment on the photo. Nicely done. I have tried this before and it never really came out right. After seeing yours, I think I will give it another go soon.

Beautiful photo! I too am toying with the idea of purchasing photoshop. The only thing stopping me is that it is so darn pricey.
