Photo Retouching
I do lots of work on my everyday photos, just to make them ok to show you. Hey.. it's what i get from being such a hack at photography, i guess. I HAVE to be good at Photoshop!

< Here, the task was to light up this "secret passageway," making an interesting photo out of ... something less interesting. |
|
< Levels, curves, and a little hue/saturation kick helped this fruitstand. |
For this photo, I took the base photo A and exchanged Angie's head from B. (Tutorial on head-switching)
Then some lighting fixes with curves and a bit of color added to Michelle's over-lit face on a separate layer put into Color mode. >

< This photo, which I took, <g> is a textbook example of poor composition. When you click to see the large example, and it is well worth the little wait, check out the plant. |

< I did a lot of work on this one. First I cleaned up some icky stuff that was on the photo and then "patched" a huge disfiguring scratch that cut down the middle of her face.
Finally, a year later, I learned that if i used curves to adjust the coloring, I could do even better. (This is Janee at 4 yrs old.)
