Photoshop Edits

  "Lean on Me" * 5/20/2011 – 9:43 AM * Rexburg, Idaho * f/5.0 * 1/1600 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT * Opened the picture in camera raw and decreased the exposure and increased the contrast. I used an adjustment brush on the left part of her face because it was a little dark. Other than that, I was really pleased with it.

Used replace color in Photoshop to change the color of her sweater. I had to use the healing brush and clone stamp a lot around the edging to clean it up because there was a purple blur.

"Waiting" * 5/20/2011 – 10:07 AM * Rexburg, Idaho * f/4.5 * 1/3200 sec * Canon EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT *  I used reflector to block leaves that were creating a shadow on her face. That made it a little darker so I opened it in camera raw and lightened the exposure and added a little contrast.

Then I brought the photo in to photo shop and use spot healing to get a few blemishes off of her face and used it to fix a hair standing up on the top of her head. Then I added a guassian blur to a copied layer and masked out her eyes. It didn't soften her enough so I used the paint brush tool to soften her skin and her arm on the right side of the photo. I played with the opacity to find the perfect balance. I noticed her lips needed more color so I used the brush to bring in the natural darker color of her top lip to her bottom. For her eyes, I brought in a light green and painted them and used the dodge tool to lighten up the white in her eyeballs.
