Photoshop Continued...



Again, a big thanks to my cousin for being my test subject :) Here is a before and after of her and her horse, West. I thought it was a cute moment and wanted to enhance it a bit. After image is on the right - I did a few layers of dodgeing and burning, applied the rule ot thirds to the center of interest (I chose the conection of Katie and West), added a slight pink tone to Katie's cheeks and brightened her face a touch, brightened West's eye, and finally darkened the entire image a little and added a little extra darkening to the edges of the image.

Starting Photoshop!




I am learning some techniques with Photoshop and I thought I would share a cute photo that I took in Hawaii. With Photoshop, my goal is to learn how to enhance the images I take, brighten them or darken them to enhance the center of interest. I am just starting this and wanted to post some photos to see the progress I make over the next couple months.
The image on the left is the original and the image on the right is after Photoshop
