For this image I first used the Photoshop Express (from exercise 2.2), in which I increased the saturation and decreased the exposure. Afterwards I imported the revised image into CS3 and used the curves adjustment to lighten the leaf and sky. I also tried playing with the levels adjustment and channel mixer but somehow the “veins” of the leaf were disrupted with every change, so I decided not to use them. The leaf in the initial image had a dark appendage which I was able to correct using the dodge tool followed by the sponge tool to increase the saturation. Enjoy

For this exercise i used photoshop to stitch together 40 images then cropped it. Afterwards i messed around with the curves, layers, channel mixer, saturation, and exposure to increase the quality of the image.
