Before and After

I never do this as I'm only new to blogging and photography and still trying to find my feet.
But this time I thought I would...
Monica over at Pixel Perfect is having a blog hop to show off everyones editing techniques.

These photos were taken a couple of months ago for my friends daughters year 10 formal.  She is sixteen and so gorgeous, I wanted to make a few look different and pop. She and her mum loved them.

The before


And the after.



I first de-saturated the photo then coloured back in the dress and hammoc.
Then I applied Eye Candy actions Lightswitch to lighten the shadows on her face and Zap to make the colour really pop.

Yay my first blog hop.

Have a happy day.

  2. Love it too!! And like Monica...I am in "blog love" with your header. I absolutely love those Eye Candy Actions but I only have photoshop elements, so, alas, I can not get in on the Eye Candy fun!!
