Quoting Mrs.Dani:" I know no one is on right now but I am attempting to edit some old photos for something but I am having some trouble with a few, if anyone gets on and is bored and wants to help me out let me know. "

I can try and take a look..

Quoting awesomebrandi:" I can try and take a look.."

Thanks. They are older so the lighting sucks and some have flash. I am just trying to clean them up a bit and fix the brightness and skin tone. Here are the ones. Do you think they are fixable? I really like these.

I think all the natural light ones are 'fixable' but the flash ones are going to look like you used flash, no matter what. You an do some cloning and etc to take out some of the shine but the lighting will still have the same directionality, you know?

posted this as a topic, but maybe you ladies might know




My camera is coming today. I probably won't be home when it is delivered, however, my mom will be here with my son.

will they let HER sign for it? I'm not sure if they like ID you to make sure you're the right person or not.... lol. ugh, stressing out!

Brandi this is what I got with them. But I think they look bad  :

I don't really mind if you can tell the flashed was used, but when I edit them the colors look like they are coming out wonky. Like in the two that the flash was used it makes his hair look red instead og brown blonde.

I'm pretty sure anybody over the age of 18 is fine.

Quoting Mrs.Dani:" Brandi this is what I got with them. But I think they look bad  : "

I think all the natural light ones are maybe a bit too bright and #2 and #5 need warmth.. #1 has something odd going on with the color, I don't know if it's too warm or what.. the area around him doesn't look too warm but he seems slightly orange.

Quoting awesomebrandi:" I'm pretty sure anybody over the age of 18 is fine."

I thought so, too. Just double checking. My luck they would tell me mom she couldn't sign for it.  

but....eeeep! i'm so excited.

#2 and #5 are bright because I was trying to get rid of the stupid shadows. I had a lot of trouble with #2. Is there an easier way? Do you think the coloring on #1 is because of how the SOOC is?

What are you using to lighten them up? You need to use something with brush adjustments if there are particularly dark areas, but I didn't really see anything on the SOOC that would warrant that. Some shadows aren't necessarily bad.

This weeks theme in my digital photography group is bokeh.

settings and pictures/information how I did the heart shape are on my blog post: http://www.cherylekupschphotography.de/2013/02/bokeh-digital-photography-effects-project-week-eight/

I really just wanted it so I could take some pictures of me and my son lol. Other than that I don't think I need it for anything.

Oh yeah, I was going to say I think the bulk of my tripod use has been self portrait related lol.

The UPS guy here doesn't even make us sign for stuff anymore (he's afraid of our little dog lol) but usually if we aren't here he will take it to our post office (we don't get USPS mail to our home here) or sometimes he leaves it on the porch. But we live in a small town. I pretty sure anybody that's over 18 can sign for it. It doesn't matter the name. I've signed for my mom before and they never even asked my name.
