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!
