I THINK ANY PHOTO EDITING PROGRAM IS GREAT...I COULD BE HAPPY WITH ANY VERSION OF PHOTOSHOP.
WHAT I USUALLY DO WHEN I FEEL LIKE EXPERIMENTING WITH NEW TOOLS OR EVEN BROWSING THROUGH MY FOLDERS OF OLD PHOTOGRAPHS...IS TO EDIT PHOTOS AND MAKE THEM A BIT MORE LIVELIER. OF COURSE, SINCE I DON'T HAVE THE BEST LIGHTING IN THE WORLD, EDITING IS A HUGE MUST BUT I'M NOT COMPLAINING.
I TOOK MY NEWLY PURCHASED UMBRELLA KIT OUTSIDE AND TOOK QUICKIE SHOTS OF MY ASSISTANT PHOTOGRAPHER (& SISTER) YESENIA. SHE IS BASICALLY MY ONLY MODEL AS OF NOW BECAUSE WE LIVE TOGETHER SO SHE IS REALLY HANDY WHEN IT COMES TO TESTING MY PHOTOGRAPHY 'SKILLS' ON HER.
I TOOK ABOUT 10 PICTURES OF HER...INSIDE AND OUTSIDE OF THE HOUSE. I DECIDED TO PLAY AROUND WITH A COUPLE HEAD SHOTS AND CAME UP WITH THIS.
THE TOP ONE IS THE ORIGINAL AND THE BOTTOM ONE IS EDITED. IT MAY SEEM A BIT EXAGGERATED BUT LETS JUST SAY THE DETAIL IS WHAT COUNTS. THE EYES SEEM A LOT MORE BRIGHTER AND THE SKIN IS EVEN TONED AND THAT'S SOMETHING MOST PEOPLE LIKE TO SEE IN THEIR IMAGES. ALSO THE LITTLE DETAILS ARE SHARPENED AND BROUGHT INTO FOCUS.
GO AHEAD AND CLICK THE IMAGE TO ZOOM IN AND CHECK OUT HOW MUCH DETAIL IS VIEWABLE WITHOUT BLURRYNESS.
