The edit me challenge is back, I used to love to participate way back before baby, so I decided to use my mad skillz and try a new edit (for me).
(Note: Photo not taken by me)
my edit
original
Opened in Photoshop Elements and cloned out minor imperfections and distractions. Adjusted levels, added soft light layer 30%, new layer gold 15% screen. Used coffee shop's sun flare action and adjusted to my liking. Adjusted brightness and contrast, did a slight burning around the edges to make the girl pop more, reduced noise slightly and sharpened for web and there you go, more or less. I was playing really fast and don't know if I remember everything.
You should really go do it if you like to play around in photoshop (or just if you want to procrastinate like me), it's totally fun!
If you don't own photoshop then play around with free editing sites like picmonkey.com, I still go there a lot.
as much as i love this pic & don't want to insult the original...... i really love your edit! i know, i use picmonkey if i'm not on my laptop :)
ReplyDeleteI love picmonkey. Especially for their collages.
DeleteVery pretty edit!
ReplyDeleteI'm just going to send you a bunch of pics I have, and love, but haven't figured out photoshop enough to make them all pretty. :)
ReplyDeleteHa ha, you're funny. Just start with the basics like adjusting brightness and contrast, maybe adding a little more color saturation, but be careful, a little goes a long way.
DeleteI'm so glad I saw this post; I love the edit me challenge! Love your edit!
