Why I heart Photoshop...

I can turn this:

 into this:

{No more window, no closed eyes and all the kids look pretty good. You may have to click on the picture to see all of the changed faces.}


and this:



 into this:

{Had to change most of the kids in this one}


Anyone who has had family pictures taken with little kids knows how hard it is to get a decent picture and while the personalities may show, it may not be worthy to print in a huge size and place on the wall for all to see. That's where my favorite program comes in. I can take a good set of eyes from one picture and put it in another, or take a turned head and find one that's good to replace it with. And if I didn't tell you I changed those things, you wouldn't even notice, right? Dang I'm good!

Ooh, one more. This is a fun change too:
look closely at the eyes on Owen {the boy on the right}



Too much fun, I tell ya! This is where I can spend HOURS on the computer and not even realize the time that has passed.

So true! I need to edit some photos today and I am thinking, DO I HAVE TIME TO PLAY ON THE COMPUTER??? Because I know time passes but recognizing how much is another story!!!!

Well done edits honey! Well Done!

You did a fabulous job! I should have let you photoshop mine but I'm too impatient. You are so talented!

I heart it too! And thanks to you for getting me started with some tricks! I learn more every time I use it, partly because I fiddle for hours!

Your family pictures look so good! Did you do them with your camera on a tripod?

I am amazed that you can seemlessly move a child's eyes, hands or whatever from one photo to another. I never got that good at Photoshop, all i do is change color, edit minor flaws and so forth. Wow, bravo. I'm going to need to spend more time learning Photoshop now that I have a toddler--it's impossible to get a photo with everyone looking good.
