chefbml Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 I have this picture of my sister in law after her wedding to my brother. It rained out her outside wedding and we caught this rainbow as the sun was going down. Can anyone help me enhance the colors and make it pop? Even if it's transformed into a pop art type thing. I want to give it to her on a canvas for her birthday. Thanks so much for any assistance anyone can give me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't show you because I don't post artwork online anymore.. :? Good Luck! -Lego Quote Lego's deviantART. La De Da... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ego Eram Reputo Posted October 5, 2008 Share Posted October 5, 2008 Quick, edit the title of this thread before someone sees that you have a non-specific title & locks the thread! Here's the rule: 6) Thread titles must be descriptive and specific -- NOT generic. You need to use descriptive thread titles. The following are examples of thread titles that are NOT ALLOWED: "Help" "Please help" "I need help" "Can you help" "HELP PLEASE!!!!!!!!!!" (if you post like this you WILL be banned) "Tutorial request" "Feature request" "Plugin request" "Looking for..." "Looking for a tutorial / feature / plugin" "Can Paint.NET do this" ('this' is complete ambiguous here) "I'm a newbie" "Hello" "I'm new" also, putting "HELP!" in any title is also not allowed, it's really quite obnoxious. We know you want help, that's why you're posting in the first place.
