You can adjust color/ saturation etc in most photo editing software.  May also be able to change the settings on your camera.  I upload all my photos to Flickr which has a basic editor.  Did some quick adjustments on Flickr to that photo.

@dvflyer Thank you for doing this Mike! The way you adjusted it is basically how it came out of my camera...I think!. I'll explain, my camera came with its own editing program, it's loaded on my laptop, when I take the pics off my camera, they get loaded in the editing program and I do any adjustments I think need to be made, usually just A LOT of crop because there is just way too much background. On this particular picture, I didn't like the shadowing on Kohdi's face. The program has one tap adjustments, to make the picture darker and lighter (I think there are about 9 shades from darker to lighter I can make it, or I can send it to custom where I can adjust each thing manually, from brightness to shadows, to saturation, etc. I rarely use custom unless I'm feeling pretty confident, LOL. Of course I can revert all my changes but each time I do that I have to start from scratch again, for some reason I can't just go back to the last adjustment I made. Now here is where my problem comes in...the way you adjusted the pic, and I think it came out of my camera the same way, looks awesome, the color is rich, however, when they get to my iPad, it's completely different and why I sometimes have pics I'm not happy with color wise. On my iPad, your pic has Kohdi's face in a dark shadow, and the way I adjusted it, the shadow is minimized and I can see his eyes and expression better. However, I also think the pic is too light. But I went with it even though I like the way you adjusted it /the original, better, as far as color saturation. Since I use some of the pics on Instagram, and most people use mobile devices to access Instagram, I normally use the adjustment that looks better on my iPad. Maybe I should just leave them alone though, LOL. Thank you again for doing this, I saved the pic so I can use it too

beautiful pics, love that last one stick tug a war hehe.

LOL Ronin, thanks! just wish it wasnt blurry


So, I put grass seed down and just hoping SOMETHING comes up...and then there is Kohdi

"Look dad, I found some grass coming up!"


"I'll just lay on it to keep it warm so more hatches...like a chicken does!"


"Looks like a good place to dig a hole"


Yup, he does not disappoint. Kohdi aims to please...just not to please ME, here he uses his new hole to get more instructions from Satan


Contemplating his new instructions


The calm before the storm


That is dirt on his ruff


Just thought they looked pretty with the sun right there

Ah yes.... fresh growing grass. Must dig!

"Look dad, I found some grass coming up!" very cute picture. nice profile pic too with the dirt ascent .

i need to to some reseeding in the bald patches int he back yard too, haha.

LOL Mike, you were smart in your design of your backyard

HaHa, Ronin,  I wish it was only a few bald spots to patch, for me! but its my hope with whatever comes up, I can just patch here and there til its full again. Thank you Ronin! Good luck with your patching!

Pics from today, its been so beautiful out, I know soon it will be colder so Im soaking up as much sun as I can now, haha, I don't want summer to end  



Stop taking my picture now!!!


Bye Bye sun

Laying down/ stretch/ paw curl pose... love it.

Thanks Mike! I love that pic. Im gonna try and work on that pics color, sseems light to me. Here is another funny stretching pic, haha, this dog just makes me smile

Just a few pics of Kohdi. He was sick for about a day and a half...not the throw up and diareah kind of sick, just very odd behavior, like being very restless, panting a lot, drinking lots of water, and wanting to be outside instead of inside, he isolated himself by laying out in the dining room at night and avoids going in his "cave" by the bed like he normally does...he still hasn't gone back under there but his other symptoms are gone, so I'm glad to be able to post his brighteyed and bushy tailed self this week

This past week...

The time change. Yeah, Kohdi isn't feelin' it


watching the sun rise


OK. Im awake now


















to be continued...

Always love pics kohdi. Glad he's coming feeling better.

Thank you Amy! Yes, I'm so relieved he pulled out of whatever it was he was going through...still hasn't been back to his "cave" by the bed, though. Weird.

amazing pics, he is so cute in "Stop taking my picture now!!!". cool play bow pic too.
glade he is feeling better.

Thank you Ronin!

Kohdi letting me know my bed is really his bed




The...I'm ready to go now, look (Lake Murray)


Kohdi has constructed himself a wooden leg
