Round Robin Challenge - The Hand ... Untouched!

Fresh when it gets here from Julie Barrett
Wednesday, March 7, 2007


This week's Round Robin challenge is "The Hand ... Untouched!" and was suggested by Brad from WE IS..

The idea is to take a picture of your hand and show it unretouched. You asked for it. Get the nausea meds ready!:

Fortunately, the second part asks what you might do to touch it up. Fix the color balance, add a little fill flash, and apply a bit of an unsharp mask. Like this:

I'm not sure it's THAT much better, but it's at least more true to life, color-wise.

Check out the other Robins! Linking list:

I think I like the first version better, at least on the office computer. Love the blog background, and the hand is darkly mysterious.

Great Job. You have a real knack for photo edits. That's one area I am going to have to dive into. I'm not sure where to start. Handy. Brad
