Found this tulip on the side of my house. I loved the color and the way it was opened.
I attempted to white out the background but I am new to using this so please help! How did I do....what do I need to do differently?? I am using PSE6. Thanks!

Beautiful clarity Jeanine! #5919728Amber J. Skene May 14, 2008
Wonderful capture! I think the white BG looks good, but if you want it to look brighter, add a levels adjustment layer and slide the right one to the left till the BG is white like you want it. Then, use a layer mask to bring the orginial pink color back. #5922554Jeanine M. Bailey May 14, 2008
