I initially tried to center this posting, and make it extend all the way across the 700 pixels of the entry limits, but found again that whenever it was resized by editing the html a good bit of the quality was lost. Sure would like to learn how to manipulate the size while retaining the quality of the capture. Guess I would have to do another kind of web page instead of this freebie, but will be happy with what is possible for now.The series you see here represents not one, but two "Eureka!" moments in Photoshop adjustments. The girl in this tube, taken at the Houston Zoo's prairie dog exhibit, was too dark, so she was selected out, made into a layer of her own, and lightened...the first time I'd done such a thing.
Don't know why, but while there I stared tinkering around with the color adjustment dialogue box. The original background must have been made into a layer and selected at the time, because to my astonishment the tube changed color while the girl remained the same! It was totally an accident - very serendipitous - but once discovered a whole new world was opened. The result is the series above, a printout of which was posted in my cubicle for a long time.
