PHOTOSHOPing FUN

I am a self proclaimed photoshop professional. this of course couldn't be farther from the truth but i like to think of myself as one:) It all started when i had to fix a red eye here, a double chin there. i taught myself how to use the program by just playing with pictures and seeing what worked. i don't know how many under eye dark circles i have removed, or pudges i have erased...too many to count, i can tell you that. who needs plastic surgery when you have photo retouching!! i really think this is something everyone should learn...it does wonders for your self esteem!

Below is a photo i just did a couple minutes ago of Tom and my little niece Bella. The moment was so adorable but the photo didn't capture it with all the surrounding "noise" behind it. I decided to make it black and white because come on, who doesn't love a b&w? By blurring out the background and softening the edges you really feel drawn into the moment. Nobody else around except uncle and bella...and to them that's exactly what was happening. just the two of them... on a mission... to dance.

before...

after.

too cute for words.
