Amelya at the Eno Festival July 4 2009

I am reaching back into my photo archives and photo shopping photos I like. I am doing a bit of color correction and the aging technique as a way to desaturate the colors and warm them up. Not necessarily to make this photo vintage looking.

Amelya's girlfriends at school. She is wearing her brown boots

This was my first photo I did using Jacki's tutorial. I love the pink colors & vintage Levi blue denim skirt. I am sooo excited about leaning this tonight! I also learned how to sharpen the eyes using the lasso tool. That was another tutorial on "Scraps of Jacki's Life" blog. I provided the link. Just clink on my post title and it will take you to Jacki.

This is a nectarine tree in Malta. I love the way Amelia pops out of this photo. The opacity is about 50%. Then I took it to Opacity 0%.
This is my first try tonight at working on Photo shop using Jacki's tutorials. I am providing you her link so you can check out her site.

I followed Jacki's instructions and this was my result.
I also aged my photo a bit too by clicking "old photo". Go to Jacki's sight if you want easy straight forward instructions. Thank you Jacki! All of my post titles take you to the tutorials.

Amelya: Black & White & Color

I played with color saturation.
I cranked up the mid tones to almost 100% for kicks.
It reminded me of an Andy Warhol painting.
So I toned it down a bit to make it more realistic.
