{fun with editing}

I'm having a really hard time with coming up with content to blog about once a day. We really don't lead a very exciting life! LOL

So today, I'm choosing to write about editing photos. I love it! You can take an average "meh" picture and turn it into something beautiful. Most of the time 'straight out of the camera' (SOOC) shots are not all they could be. With an adjustment of exposure and color it can become quite the gem.

Example 1:

I'm currently learning how to use Photoshop, that's a long and confusing process. If I'm in a pinch, I use Picnik. It's fast and easy, and you can link it up to just about any photo sharing site!

And here's one more before and after...

You probably already know about actions, but in case you don't they are a nice way to ease into photoshop and get the effects you want right away. The only bad thing is you have to force yourself to continue to learn or they can become a real crutch.
