Janean+Davis-+Gnome+Photo+Editing

**Photo editing of my subject, a lawn gnome:**

The photo-editing software I used was Paint.NET. At first I was very hesitant to use this program because I had no experience in this type of program; however it was very user-friendly, easy, and fun.

For this photo:  ·  I changed the brightness and contrast  ·  I changed the effects and made the photo blurry by fragmenting it.  ·  Next I changed the Hue and Saturation  ·  Finally I used the posterized function. I was amazed on what I was capable of doing with this program. The end result is very artistic, which is a surprise to me as I do not have an artistic bone in my body….or I did not think I did. I may have to re-think this. The purpose of this modification was to see what the functions actually meant and how they would change the original photo.

On this photo I changed one thing and the effect is amazing. It looks exactly as what the feature is called, an oil painting. For this photo: This modification made one type of art, a photograph, turn into another, an oil painting.
