following Beckys lead!

[Brookepanda]

Here is a pic I just edited on my lunch break today :giggle

I just wanted to say.....I am so can't do removal of blemishes like Becky....I mean....I *try* but it never looks right :dunno

Here is my take on 'before' and 'after'

we all have different styles here on SCM....I enjoy bringing out lots and lots of bright colors in my photos....

this photo sucked straight out of the camera....too dark :(

I worked a little magic and got it to be bright and colorful....just like I like em :D

sorry Becky....I'm copying you :giggle I just wanted to be cool like you :tongue But seriously....I just think you did a great job...and wayyyy better than any face I could have done for any of those gals! :thumb

ok...anyway....here's my play on before and after :)

Ok, you did a great job but I seriously expected to scroll down and find something outrageous. Like a super fat person and then a super skinny person.

[meeg124]

Love the bright colors!

[becky]

haha i am thinking like the rest of the gals....expecting something crazy.

I think this forum is way under used so its cool to see it come back to life. Would anyone mind if us photogs keep posting before and afters from time to time to get your feed back on it?

[becky]

Ok, you did a great job but I seriously expected to scroll down and find something outrageous. Like a super fat person and then a super skinny person.i really wish i could share a photo i did with some serious nip/tuck action going on but she wont let me. next time i get one though i will share :)

well hell becky, when do you want me? LOL

[becky]

we seem to have had this conversation before yet you still can't pick a date for your maternity pics. IF you don't hurry up your baby is going to pop out of that oven and we will be taking her newborn pics.

[Kellie_MO5]

I'm waiting on when you can tell me works for you, since I'm guessing it would be hard taking your girls along without someone else there to watch them, I don't know if you want to do a day that victor is home to watch them or what

Brooke! May we see the "before" and "after" of the pic I took with your camera at Julia's pool? That's about the best I ever looked in a photo, so I am so convinced you did cropping and toning. :lol I am very curious to see the "raw" photo!
I am OK that this is a public forum.

[becky]

:lol I'm not tellin ;)a good artist never tells her secrets :D that is as it should be

you're so funny~!
I didn't crop it at all...that was all you :)

I'll send you the photo if you want, as always...if you ever want a photo from a playdate...just PM me and I'll send you the file :D

[Brookepanda]

yeah if you don't know photoshop I don't think you'd even know what I would be talking about if I told you the little things I do....

I *did* give Becky one of my 'recipes' for her to use on her photos...because personally I think it makes all portraits look better....so I shared that recipe with her....I see she's been using it...and it just really makes a photo stand out :)

That is what friends are for right :tongue SO far i have only used it on the recent photo with the sisters but i can't wait to use it on more.
