Edit: Portraits

I really enjoyed this assignment. I love editing photos and I am always looking forward to learning how to do new things.

Enhancement:
[Challenge] Luminous: 2/3/11—4:14 PM; Rexburg, ID; f/2.7; 1/100 sec; Canon PowerShot A1100
-I really wanted to try this effect, but didn't have access to a model, so I used myself. The light was coming just right through my window, so I took a few shots and chose this one. I am really not a fan of the original. I used this tutorial to get the luminosity effect on this picture. http://www.planetphotoshop.com/design-effects-2.html I also zoomed the picture in because I didn't like the composition.

EDITED

Color Replacement:
Kooky Rachel: 2/2/11—12:00 PM; BYU-I photo studio; f/8; 1/160 sec; Nikon D2X; no camera flash, used studio lights, tripod
-I first selected the shirt that I wanted to change and then used the color match tool (under Image--Adjustments) in Photoshop to match Rachel's shirt to her boots.

EDITED

Color Match:
Messy Max: 2/6/11—5:50 PM; Rexburg, ID; f/5.6; 1/60 sec; Canon PowerShot A1100; flash
-I used color match to warm up this picture a little bit. The original match without any changes made the picture of Max pretty dark, so I bumped up the luminance and increased the fade as well.

I really like your shots this week Carlie. Your edit challenge turned out awesome, I really like how the color palette you chose enhanced the shot as well.

Carlie, I thought you had some great pictures, your shot of Rachel was great, and I think you did a great job matching her shirt to her boots. It is crazy how tiny adjustments like that to a photo can be made and it doesn't even look edited. I also enjoyed seeing some pictures of Harrison, go TSAM! And the expression of Max's face was hilarious. Good job having your camera ready to capture that moment! I also think that your choice for cropping the challenge picture made the whole image exciting to look at. Good job!!!
