•My Edit {color}


Opened the JPG in ACR to do a few minor adjustments:
-clarity
-white balance
-exposure
-blacks
-recovery

Opened in Photoshop CS3 to finish the editing:
-cropped to bring the focus of the photo on the little boy
-white/gray/black point color correct
-brightened eyes
-softened skin slightly
-small color pop on background & then blurred
-dodge/burn different areas of the photo
-did a little editing to give the whole photo a slightly different look than normal
-sharpened



•My Edit {b/w}


Photoshop CS3:
My color edit, just ran a b/w action and did some dodging/burning.

Mommy Edward.

That's what my 3.5 year old calls me when he's trying to get his point across.

Hand on hip, leaning forward, eyes staring me down.... "MOMMY EDWARD!"

I tell him, "My name is not Edward. I'm a girl, anyway."

His repsonse? "Yes it is. You are Mommy. EDWARD!"

Gotta love your children; silly little things *ha*

My Clone Job {•before & after•}

The only editing that I've done to this photo so far is cloning.
I'll share the after when I'm completely finished.

They're Unique.

Some fellow 07.31.09 Friday-Fixer-Upper's:


Head on over to:

AJ's blog Endless Light Creations to see a *truly* beautiful edit on this image!! I just love it so much that I have to link there so others can see how great of a job she did!

I also really like Tiffany's edit here on her June Makes Six blog. She did a wonderful job and it really does look like an old time photo and something you'd see in a 'history of our town' book or something from like the 1800's.
