Original Image
After Image, Sharpened and minus a few artifacts
Here is a picture of my Greater Swiss Mountain Dog, Ellie..She is so naturally beautiful that its difficult to make a bad picture of her..
This photo was taken in the back yard and came out a bit dull and drab in color..So I decided to make it more vibrant by increasing saturation..I also cloned out her dog tags and the leave on top of the grass..Added a little sharpening and final results are below. The work was done in Camera Raw and Adobe Photoshop CS3.
