View Full Version : for anyone who ever wondered what i do when i just need to zone out...
it's photo editing ALL THE WAY.
lol
I love when i just need to not use my brain at all, and i can puto n my ipod, open up photoshop and play.
This is what i fixed for a friend today.. this was her back when she was dating a guy in high school. they split up and he tore up her photo (but kept it).
She got married, had kids, etc. They got divoriced and now she's back with the high school sweetheart :) How cute, huh? :)
She wanted to have it restored for him for christmas, so this is what i've been working on for a few days.
I don't *love* how her hair turned out, but it's SO stinkin difficult to get it perfect. :(

Great job Jackie!!! :clap
I love photo editing. With my Photo Throws I get a lot of family's with one family member who did not like the way they looked in the photo. So I have been offering to take another photo that they do like of themselves and cut it out and add it to the existing family photo. I had one that I did for a Christmas order. The teenage daughter did not like the way she looked, so they took her photo again at the same angle, and I pasted and blended her in. I love doing it. It is very theraputic.
In 2004 we took a family portrait with my Brother & his family, my family, and my Mom. They took a family portrait of my Brother's family and my snobby SIL had a horrible irritated look on her face and later claimed they photographer did not warn her he was taking the photo. I think the photo really captured her horrible personality. Anyway, they wanted to do Christmas cards with the family photo but SIL did not like the wicked expression she had. I took her smiling head, from the group photo and blended it in to my Brother's family portrait. She looked happy and sweet again. I literally put her mask on, lol, very true to life, lol. They loved it!
I recently took an old photo of my dad & his family and his aunts family together. Problem was that his uncle was taking the photo in one pic, and his aunt was taking the photo in the other. So I cut his uncle out of one photo to add him into the other. My Dad's Uncle passed away about 5 years ago. Then we had a Photo Throw made for my Great Aunt's 85th birthday this year. She loved it!
Hair is the hardest to do I think. I have even gone in and added makeup to some crappy photos of me and the kids, lol! I have shaved off my hubby's double chin on some. I have erased some of my kids boo boo's, which they tend to get right before pictures, lol!
