My New Toy: PHOTOSHOP

Recently, I took 4 photos that I love. I love the subject material, but the photos themselves were lacking, the lighting all wrong. But, with my new toy, PHOTOSHOP, they are pretty darn good. I'm just learning how to play around with it, and just in time for Briana's wedding, too!

The first photo is the original, straight out of the camera. The second is my upgraded, Photoshop version!!

Never has a Capri Sun looked so Classy! This is Miss Addy Cakes, my friend's daughter.


The first photo was WAY over exposed, but with a little PHOTOSHOP magic, Mr. Noah looks Adorable!


Poor Washed out Elise, my neice . . . PHOTOSHOP helps her eyes POP!


This photo of my neice and nephew is much softer with a pretty wash over it. Now I just need to find the way to take my wrinkles off my eyes!!

I just want to say how incredible I feel having made your blog twice in one week. While it may be the same photo twice, I still feel very lucky to be such great material for your daily masterpieces!

So, are you going to let me know how much this investment was? And can you do announcements? Like say for example whip up something close to that baptsimal announcement for Rachel? Also I like the train park pics. Both actually.

OoOH, OOOOOH! When are we going to have a play date??!! I want to try out your new toy, too! When you get back from traipsing around the world, call me and let's get together! With our cameras and our children and let's go to TOWN!!! (Because that's where all the cool kids get their pictures taken...on the railroad tracks, no less!)

I love photoshop...I played with it in HS, and I've been wanting it ever since! Even more so now that I have a digital camera and a blog!! I love the picture of you with Ari and Matty, and the effects on the other three pics are amazing! Nice work! :)

I love the picture of the little girl with the capri sun. How did her mom get her hair to stay curly like that? I have curl issues...

My favorite two are the ones of Addy and Elsie. What sweet little girls. Elsie's looks so natural, you would never guess that it had been touched up without compairing it to the original.
