I have loved photoshop for a couple of years now. It's definitely a work in progress for me. I had been working with PSE5, which is very limited in what it can do. So for Christmas, J upgraded me to PSE7. It was so affordable for what it does. I think this program has changed my life! Ok, so maybe that's a little dramatic. One of my favorite things are photo actions. These are pictures I just now edited.
Here's the picture, straight out of the camera:
First I cropped and sharpened it. Then fixed the eyes. Finally I darkened the edges a bit.
So cute!
Now it's Sami's turn.
Here's my shot, straight out of the camera:
I didn't need to crop, just sharpened, added a color boost, and darkened the edges.
But I really wanted to bring out her eyes.
I really like CoffeeShop Free Actions and Pioneer Woman for great free Photoshop actions. Some people think that actions are cheating. And maybe it is, in some ways. But I don't care, it's just too fun! I don't have a fancy camera, but with Photoshop, sometimes I can even fool myself (which isn't too hard).

Great job with Photoshop, Chrissy! I finally took time to catch up on several of your entries. I am amazed at what great parents you are--and I just plain downright think you're SuperMom!!! Love y'all!
you really are good at that. some people just can't cut it, not matter how hard they try, they will never be good enough. (cough, cough, me.) i wish i could do some fancy 'cheats' on my photos, heaven knows they need it.
did you guys have a wonderful easter? we kept thinking about you guys, we need to get together again soon... !
