I came upon the tree I dubbed ‘Palo Duro Tree’ in a West Texas canyon, bent and alone, begging for a photograph. I obliged, using my Canon G15. Much later, I looked back at the Palo Duro Tree, and made my edits in Camera Raw on my iPad Retina Mini, treating it three ways:
Vivid Palo Duro Tree by Jann Alexander ©2014
Vivid Center Focus: Photographed with my Canon G15 in Camera Raw, and edited on my iPad Retina Mini in Snapseed, increasing the saturation slightly for a more vivid effect, and applying the center focus effect. Snapseed, a powerful photo editing app, supports high resolution RAW file editing.
Drama Palo Duro Tree by Jann Alexander ©2014
High Drama: Photographed with my Canon G15 in Camera Raw, and edited on my iPad Retina Mini in Snapseed, applying the drama effect, which desaturates color.
Impressionistic Palo Duro Tree by Jann Alexander ©2014
Impressionable: Photographed with my Canon G15 in Camera Raw, and edited on my iPad Retina Mini in Glaze, a photo-painting app, applying the sunset effect from the basic Studio mode. Glaze allows saves in full-resolution, or in three smaller jpeg formats, and allows application of many overlaying painterly effects. ♣
