It's Fix-It Friday

I absolutely love photo editing. I study it online, I read books about it, I even dream about it. This is a new hobby for me, and I am always up for a new challenge. The fix-it photo this week is of the sweetest two-year-old, Anna (You can find her mama's blog HERE).

Here are my edits:

Lightroom 2.3- corrected white balance, added a kiss of sunlight to her face and softened skin
(I have a 30 day free trial to Lightroom 2 that came with my PSE7. It's such an incredible program. It's kind of pricey, so I am going to be so sad when my trial expires. Boohoo!).
Photoshop Elements 7- reduced noise, burned and blurred edges to put the focus on her sweet face, cropped, sharpened eyes, burned around the edges of irises and along eyelashes, smoothed skin on left side to reduce noise, cloned out her baby doll

This was so much fun!

I'm Back, I Think

Whoa! I had to dust the cobwebs off my blog this morning. It's been a really long time since I last posted. I guess I've been doing other things... like reading books with real pages. Imagine that!
I'm also having a love affair with my new camera and my six month old nephew, Drew. Oh, man. Am I ever in deep. I love his rubber band wrists and wide toothless grin.

That’s it. Stick a fork in me. I’m done.
