Touch Up Tuesday: Clone out that background!

SOOC:

Edits:

Edit: What? Yes. ANOTHER Clone Tool Touch Up Tuesday! :D It's one of my favorite tools... and, I use it ALL the time. This is my friend's little 2 week old baby, Ayana. I don't actually have a backdrop or any other fancy accessories for photography. SO, I have to make-do.

I found a plain blanket and propped it up. But, I noticed with some of my photos the home was still showing. This was a really easy thing to fix with the clone tool since my blanket I was using was very simple with no print. After I fixed my background and did a couple of other edits to the photo... I ran a few of my favorite actions from Pamela Toppings and Paint the Moon.

I've used the clone tool many times in the past if you're curious to learn more about it. Just scroll through these clone posts. :D

Touch Up Tuesday: Taking photos in VERY dim light.

Hello! I'd LOVE to welcome all of you lovely people to the 10th Touch Up Tuesday at Paper Heart Camera!

Edit:

My edit: My friend had her little baby last week. We went to visit her shortly after... and, OF COURSE, I wanted to take some photos of her little babe. It was night time, indoor, with poor lighting. I don't like using my flash (and, I'm sure mister baby wouldn't like it either). SO, I raised my ISO to the highest, lowered the shutter speed... etc.

That helped a bit. But, the photos were still pretty dark SOOC. I adjusted the levels and curves to brighten things up a bit. Then, I ran Noiseware to take care of all the noise in the photo. And, that's it!
