{ Photoshop Rocks }

I took this ''in car'' picture a couple days ago while running errands with the fam. While I loved this shot of Addison because I think the lighting was just plain cool I did not however love the messy little face she was sporting
(ya gotta love snacks in the car)
Before:
So I whipped out my CS3 and in about 5 minutes time came up with the following

After:
I am so in love with the shadows and the play of light in this photo. But I have to confess that I still have no idea what I'm doing (well not totally) but it sure is fun playing right? :) I know there is someone out there that can make this photo really scream but for now, my sad little attempt will have to do.

Canon EOS 50D
Shutter Speed 1/125
F stop: f/5.6
ISO 640

Do these terms mean anything to me?
Kinda...

Sigh.... I have so much more to learn.....

PS. Date night with Jentry was so much fun & Harry Potter 6 was pretty darn good, I can't wait for the next 2 movies to come out. Yes #7 is being split into 2 movies. The first half being released in November of 2010 & the second half released in July of 2011.

  2. I love it. That's so neat. I have photoshop but don't know what to do with it. I need time to just play around with it.

  17. LOVE it! Did you just use the healing tool? And did you do something to her eyes? It looks like you might have done something subtle to them...I use photoshop but I can barely find my way around and can just do the basics! I took some naked baby butt pics of my son when he was 2 weeks old and used photoshop to get rid of diaper marks on his skin. LOVE IT!
