now I edited it using Photoshop Elements 7 first adjusting the color for their skin tone, bumping up the saturation +25, and editing the levels. I used CoffeeShop action called urban grit. Finally I added the vignette using a technique I learned again from CoffeeShop. I love that blog I think that is how I finally learned my photoshop elements capabilities. I think that it turned out pretty good (other than not being able to go back and make them behave).

Love the warm tones and colors in the edit! Great job!
ReplyDeleteWonderful before and after post!!
ReplyDeleteGlad to be following you now...
I know it gets so frustrating when they don't cooperate like we want them to. But the bright side is that you were able to make the shot just beautiful & capture them in normal interaction with each other. Years from now you will look at this & remember those times.
