Library Rat

Part of the final portfolio for my first Photoshop class: butterfly on Mexican sage. This one didn't need much improvement beyond tightening the shot and a few tweaks to make the butterfly pop more.

• A smidgen of sharpening with Unsharp mask
• Levels adjustement layer to brighten things a little
• Decreased saturation on everything but the butterfly with a hue/saturation layer and the appropriate layer mask
• Increased saturation on the butterfly with another hue/saturation layer and the opposite layer mask
