jimscott,
I used microsoft digital image 2006. Photoshop is way to expensive!
the colored ones I used a tool called 'change hue'. the last 3 I had to blacken the background, use a automatic selection 'magic wand' to select just the ping, then use the change hue tool.
the 1st 2 I used filters.
This is my 1st time using the program and I am just playing with all the tools to figure out what they do.
I might try some nep pics next
Photoshop is great for this kinda stuff, it can be pricey (I think CS4 the latest version is $700), thus I'm still using PS7 about an 8 years old version (back when it was only $500). They have something called Photoshop Elements (about $90) which has most of the crazy filters and color adjustments, just not all of the more high end Photo editing and digital painting tools.
One thing I really dislike though is when plant and gardening catalogs use Photoshop to make their plants / flowers appear to have these better, more interesting colors using the hue / saturation shift options. To me it's false advertising when it's in a catalog - not when done just for fun like above.
These would make cool Bday / Xmas cards for CPers!
I have elements, it's great and I can see no reason why photoshop 7 would be 5x more expensive (I've used both and see little difference, really). Great edited pics! That's some really smooooth magic wanding you did on the black background ones. The 1st one is filter -- stylize -- glowing edges in photoshop, in case anyone wanted to try it.
