we picture {this} ~ theme: before and after

Since I really enjoy editing photos, I thought I would play along with the 'we picture {this}' mamarazzi photoblog and their current theme. For this photo, I used the following tools: crop, rotate, enhance, desaturation and exposure.

[ before ]
we picture {this} - before

[ after ]
we picture {this} - after


Check out the following link for lots of fabulous 'before and after' pictures!

    Hi jill, love the photos. My laptop charger has been broken (by a certain one year old called charlie!) so I haven't been able to check your blog. It was so nice to see the photos of Lilah opening my gift ... thank you so much for posting them. Hope she gets use of the apron when you bake the cupcakes again!
    Love always,
    Lorraine

  8. Hi again!
    You are too sweet! I'm so happy to hear that I've inspired you in some small way! You will love photoshop! There is definitely a steep learning curve and it can be very overwhelming but use the internet to your advantage and you will learn so much. I know I learn something new every day. Like I said in my post, I've only had the program for one month but am loving the results already. I can't imagine what a year of practicing will do! Have fun being creative! Stop by again sometime!!
    Blessings,
    Hana

  9. Such a beautiful child and I love how you softened this but I might have cleaned up her face. With two four year olds (both adopted from China), that seems to be what I do most to my photos!
