The bracelet that I blogged about HERE yesterday was particularly challenging to get the bead colors to look correct. I thought you might be interested in seeing how a photo looks when it comes out of my camera vs how it looks after I do the color correction and other editing. When you see how bad the "before" photo looks below, bear in mind that it was the best of the six shots that I took of that pose. I generally take four to six shots of each of the poses and have to choose the ones that I think look the best.
Below is the original photo as it looked straight from my camera. Note that I already cropped and resized the photo.
And, here is how it looks after I used all sorts of filters and tools in Paint Shop Pro to make it look as close to realistic as possible:
By the way, I made another "Rattan Band" yesterday in a very pretty colorway. I will blog about it as soon as I am able to take photos of it.
