Default My First attempt at editing a photo.

Go lightly on me.. lol.



I didn't do much, just played with the colors, cropped it, and added the frame. I know it made it look better but there is no way I could do this every time I do a shoot. I don't have the patience haha. I may pick a few out of a shoot and edit them like this but overall I am sticking to leaving them untouched.

Not the crop, the original was that way too. I didn't realise that till I got it on the computer. Width wise is the same as the original, I just cropped the height.

Trust me, once you start editing more and more it'll go much faster. Open, crop, resize, check levels, check shadows/highlights, check brightness/contrast, sharpen, check levels again, add border and text, done. I can edit a picture in under 2 minutes no problem if I'm doing basic adjustments. Its when you're working with a less-than-quality photograph and/or have to fix the composition or colors when it gets very time consuming.

Overall its a good job. If I could I would have take out all the clutter in the background (light poles, cars, trailer, people, everything) and just left sky (which shadows/highlights would have richened up a bit possibly) but thats ALOT of work.

I work with gimp too, not photoshop. No big difference though. I won't do this to all of them, but when a rainly day comes along I may open up a few I have on the computer and play around with them. I like most how they are but doesn't mean I can't like them better.

Josh you can take the original and play around with it if you wish, I don't mind.

UH yeah buddy we're learning ourself by ourself .. what do you think of someone can stay over 6 hours per day on photoshop and still missing more than what i already learned .. so keep fighting and learning man and before doing any touch just imagine the picture after and before then focuse on the specific tricks or look that you want the pic. to be looks like.
goodluck and peace
