Touch Up Tuesday

Here is my before photo & after photo.

I edited with a clean edit in Lightroom. Brought into Photoshop and cropped closer. Then I used Florabellas actions and made her own individual action so I could easily edit all her photos the same. Then I just go to each photo and do little tweaks.

Sorry guys I totally spaced on Show & Tell Sunday. It has been crazy around here. So anyways link up your Show & Tell Holiday photo or your Touch Up Tuesday. The most recent holiday was when we went to the beach for Labor Day.

Here is my before photo.

 Here is my after photo.

I used Florabella's new colorplay actions. The Clean Base then Ocean Air and Perfect Color.

Yesterday we went to the beach and had so much fun. You can see more of our photos here. I even did some hilarious GIFs. I can't wait to go back to the beach. The boys LOVED it.

Here is my before photo.

Overall an okay SOOC but not what I wanted.

 Here is my after photo.

I used Florabella's new colorplay actions. The clean base then Summer Peach. I did brighten the shadows a bit more.

I brightened the photo up a touch. Then used Pinch of Newborn Goodness, part of Just a Pinch from Pure. Then I used Florabella's Sweetness Action. I then cloned part of the pink blanket to get rid of the part where you can see the wall.

I brightened it up and bumped up the contrast. Then warmed it up a touch.

Here is a photo from a wedding I second shot a couple weekends ago before any editing at all.

Here it is after my editing. I cropped it in closer. I used dodge and burn for this. Then bumped up the contrast, hue/saturation, and used Florabella's Sweetness Action.

I wanted to show you all that you do not need a macro lens. You just need a good sharp lens.

Before any editing.

 

After: I cropped it tight. Increased the contrast and used a sharpen tool.

Edit: Sometimes less is more when it comes to an edit. I ran two actions on this photo - you can download them here and here.  I added a quote and used it in this post. Have you got an edit you'd like to show off? Link it up here!

Touch Up Tuesday: Elf

My little elf edit of my daughter for Christmas! I worked with the Liquify tool for her nose and ears. Added a later of blue for her hair (and switched that layer to overlay and adjusted the opacity to 50%). Added rosy cheeks and lips! AND: done! It was really fast and fun! I hope you all had a lovely holiday!

Touch Up Tuesday

This weekend I had a fun photoshoot with a friend that won a contest on my Photography Facebook Page. She had the cutest little guy. I just loved this shot with his little tongue sticking out.

Here is the SOOC:

I used my Lightroom Clean Edit Action and tweaked it a tad. Then I used Paint The Moon's latest Facebook Fan Freebie, to sharpen and resize the photo.

Here they are side by side.
