I have been playing around with my new Photo shop...
I am by no means an expert at this but...
playing around is fun.
& slightly addicting!!!
Now I'll take you through some of the pics I Photo shopped!!!


Remember this cutie..
yes it is Drew...
who else did you expect???
But the original pic looked like this...
with a fence...
a real fence
AND now I have this...
I added a texture layer behind him in the fence to look like...
an old advertisement brick wall...
I think it is pretty good!!!???

This is Max...
my in-laws' box head lab...
he is very sweet and love able...
Max has not been feeling good lately...
and has been taken off all his insulin and meds...
we are enjoying the time we have left with him...
I absolutely LOVE this picture...
before...
AND NOW...
I PUFFY HEART IT!!!
I added a textured frame and some vintage action to the original...
isn't he the best looking lab ever???

OK OK this is NOT a Pageant queen...
this is my good friends' daughter...
she tried on this crown in Santa Fe and I took a pic...
after photoshop....
i got this...
I KNOW I KNOW... you need sunglasses for her teeth I will work on that...
BUT... look at her smooth skin..
and the shine of the crown!!!
and the eyes really POP!!!
not too bad for one of my first?!?

and then I have my favorite family pic from Santa Fe...
and i tweaked it with a fab black and white action
added a vignette and
POOF*~*
I got this...

the first pic is a close up of Drew...
imagine that...
it is the original...
the next one is after I applied Baby Powder Room action
and then the next is with a black and white ...
i like them...
do you???


the last one...
here is bubby with a textured layer applied behind him..
I like how it looks like early morning dew or something...

well that's it...

I really got addicted to this photoshop thing...

and since it takes a good amount of time and with an almost 2 yr old...

you have no time...

I was doing these late late late...

like 3AM people...

i enjoy it

and I hope with a little more practice I can get better!!!

Let me know what you think!!!
