before and after editing

Monday I posted my SOOC shot of my children not cooperating:
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).

  3. 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.
