Messing around in Photoshop

Here is the Straight out of the camera shot.

Here is one with a couple of fun actions. I did the "lovely and ethereal" for PW Photography- (link on the side) and then I did the "Super Fun Happy" from TotallyRadActions (link also on the side).

Hottie doesn't love what the action does- how it makes the black on his sleeve fuzzy. I think it's kind of a fun effect.

Photoshop is so much fun

I took this picture of Hottie and loved it straight out of the camera.

But I have to say, I love this one more. On this one, I just messed around a little with the balances and contrasts- no fancy action for this one.

Now for my precious little girls. I think this is adorable. Dives is a little splotchy, but still darn cute.

I ran through the PW Photographer's "Vintage" action and loved it. I don't know when I'd ever print a picture like this, other than the one of Grandpa Wayne.

Fun stuff with my girls and photoshop...

Straight out of the camera- a little bland but cute.

I love this super lightened and a little more faded. She's such a little doll baby and I think it's fun how this one makes her look like a little porcelan doll.

Another S-O-O-C. Love this picture.

Love the punch to this picture a lot more. I love Bug on her tip toes.

Had enough yet?

Here are some more after edit shots. Sweet little angels :)

Last One...

It's fun to sometimes take pictures of every day things and then photoshop them.

Grandpa Wayne- 2007

The last post was just edited by making it black and white. I decided to take a few minutes and try out the vintage action that I downloaded from the Pioneer Woman

My First Attempt at Photoshop...

I have never played around in photoshop. I've honestly known enough to adjust levels and crop. Really not enough to say that I "know" photoshop at all. Since I am a relatively proud person, I can barely admit it. So, thank you to my dear husband, I now of a newer version of Photoshop. Okay, it's not the newest version, but it is better.

My sister, Kat, introduced me to the Pioneer Woman Photography blog and her actions for photoshop. Okay, so she introduced everyone that reads her blog. Anyway, here's what I did with these actions...

The original, straight out of camera shot

This is the "quick edge burn" action.

The "boost" action

This is the "vintage" action

And the "lovely and ethereal" action

and the last is "fresh and colorful"

So... which do you like best?
