Looking a little funny?

 
 
 I hated how I looked in this picture so I changed it up a bit.  The changes I made make it look way better than before.

 
 
 


First I went into basic edits and used exposure and sharpen.  I have a really crappy camera (it takes batteries) so I had to re-size it making it a 5 by 6 photo.

 
Then I went in to touch up and used eyeliner and eye brighten to bring out the lines.
 
 
Next I went into Effects and used cross process, orton, black and white, yest color and tranquil.
 
 
Then I went back into touch up and used mascara and eye brighten again.
 
 
Then went back into Effects and used orton and time machine.  Done!!

Leon's picture!!!!

 
My son took this picture last month.  His uncle Kelly, aunt Heather and cousin Alex were visiting form up north so they got a hotel room.  This is a picture of the cement out by the pool area.  Leon grabbed the camera and started taking pics of anything and everything. :)

First I sharpened it up all the way.  Then I went into exposure and used highlighted it up to about 75%.  In our new house we are going with, sky blue, as an accent color to go along with our browns and tans.  This is goign to look great up on the wall!
 


 
 
Now I'm going to go into the Touch up column.  I want the top of the picture to be the focus so I'm going to use the mascara on the top and the airbrush on the bottom.  It didn't work for me so I then used eye brighten and mascara again on the top.  Now I like it.
 
 



 
Now its time to go into the Effects section.  I used cross process, urbane, cross process again, and then tint (blue).  I went back to touch up and used eye brighten for the top again and smoothed out the bottom by using airbrush.  Looks like a winner :)

Messy face?


Spaghetti for dinner = messy red face




I used Picmoney.com to turn the above into the below.  I changed it to black and white in the Effects page.  I then went into Touch up and played around with mascara to bring out and make the lines darker.  In Touch up I also tinted his eyes blue and used eye brighten to make them stand out.
