This week’s theme is more about editing than about shooting. And it coincides nicely with the class I’m taking right now called Unlocking the Magic of Photoshop, so I tired something very new to me — a self-portrait edit! The image on the left is the before, pretty much SOOC (Straight Out Of Camera). The one on the rights is after playing with exposure, cropping, sharpening my eyes, lightening the dark circles underneath my eyes, playing some with skin tone and smoothing, editing out some of the redness from my costuming mishaps from last weekend, and playing a little with liquify to make my hair bigger and my neck smaller. Voila!
Also attached, if you’re interested, are a few other before and after examples from my class. Some subtle, some not so much. Wheeee!
