Photoshop Fun

I got some more photo editing software for Christmas. I had my good friend Elissa come over and show me how it works. I'm still very confused, but I am amazed. There are SO many fun things you can do with this program. I'm definitely looking for some blogs to show me tutorials and just short cuts and whatnot, but in the meantime I'm just going to play around. The one thing I've discovered is that it's EXTREMELY slow. I'm trying to fix that. Anyway - here is an example.

This picture was edited with just the basics in lightroom2



And here it is edited in photoshop using a few fun actions


By the way the people in the picture are my sister-in-law, brother-in-law and my niece.

Pretty fun stuff, huh? In other news, today is my birfday! I've got one sick little boy and a sick husband. Boo. But hopefully everything can get out of our systems by MEXICO time!

  3. I used the Coffee Shop's Sun Kissed one and then I was experimenting with Paint the Moon's hair and eye pop. I still have no clue what I'm doing. I'm definitely going to check into some of your tutorials, Ashley!
