Shoot and Edit–Week 23 Edit

After a day with no internet, I’m happy to be back online!  Open-mouthed smile  Glad that my local internet service is quick and easy to deal with.  Smile

Here’s my swing/slide edits for this week.  Hover your mouse over the pic to see the SOOC.  (Well… if it worked.  It’s giving me grief.  Sigh.)

For this edit, I used CoffeeShop’s Perfect Portrait 3, and instead of using the B&W gradient layer, I changed it to the blue/red/yellow one and reduced opacity to 6%.

More PP# for this one!  Open-mouthed smile  And I did the same gradient trick, too.

For this one, I ran Nelly Nero’s The Butterfly Effect action, adjusted slightly, and then put the original pic back on in a new layer, and reduced opacity.

Back to PP3, but this time I decided to try the Dodge/Burn layer that I’ve never used before!  Open-mouthed smile  I used it to darken Hannah’s shirt (it’s about the right colour now!) and also to darken both Hannah and Justin’s feet/legs.  Quite the handy thing!  Winking smile

Now hopefully I’ll get some time to check out the other edit’s at Ashley’s, and you should too!  Smile
