Fun With Photoshop

For a lack of a better post today, I'm going to show some before and after photos on Photoshop. The changes aren't drastic, but I think it's very important to have at least Photoshop Elements to give your photos that little extra boost.

Exhibit A:

Before



After




Exhibit B:

Those look great! I was given Photoshop before we moved, but I have no clue how to use it!

Ugh I love the photos. I just want something that will help me edit my phots. I don't need super crazy photo editing software but it is all so confusing!

I wish I knew how to work Photoshop. I'm a very computer-savvy girl, but the second I open Photoshop I become dumb as a doornail. Maybe I'll find someone to teach me someday!

(thanks for the nice comment in my blog! I just love scouring the Web for fun ideas!)

I have Photoshop but it's too confusing for me.

Very nice! I'm making due with a free Lightroom someone gave me, but I'd LOVE to get full Photoshop...all it takes is money....

Ohhhh I really like the second one. I would love to have that as a print and hang in my house! Very beautiful!!!

Carissa said...

Nice! I have Elements but don't know a whole lot of techniques yet.

Love the pictures! I find it interesting to see what the "auto adjust" will do vs playing with the colors and contrast yourself. It's fun!

I have found that I have tons of fun taking the photo and tons of fun editing. I love them both!

You will never regret taking tons of photos - you will only ever regret the ones you didn't take!

That's pretty cool. We're looking into a new computer soon (thank the Lord) and I'm thinking about getting photoshop for it.

jlc said...

You can definitely tell the difference! For beginner photographers ( like myself ) I've found that flickr.com's editing software (picnik) is actually not half bad. You can control a lot of the colors / highlights/ shadows /contrast etc. and they have a few cool one-click tools. I use that because I can't afford the $600 Photoshop software, but it's good for what I use it for. Someday I will go all out and get Photoshop but it'll probably be awhile.

love photoshop. i admit, though, that i cheat and rely heavily on actions. pioneer woman has great ones that she gives out for FREE if you'd like to try them out.
