Show Your Skills Saturday ~ #1
Today I’m participating in Everyday Elements Show Your Skills Saturday. Below is the straight out of camera (SOOC) photograph offered by Amanda for editing….
And now my edit in Lightroom 3. The major adjustments was a slight increase in the temperature, contrast and vibrance while reducing the clarity. After I was satisfied with those adjustments, I enhanced her eyes a bit to counter the clarity reduction. I was happy with the results…hopefully mom will be too! 🙂
Stop by and visit Amanda at Everyday Elements if you would like to show your skills. She also offers workshops, tutorials and actions for Photoshop Elements.

Debbie,
You did a great job! I love the smoothness of her skin and the way you evened out her skin tone.
The only cc I have (and this could be a monitor issue, if you are not calibrated) is that she is very warm. I would probably adjust the White Balance a bit.
You have a very lovely blog too, nice and tidy; a woman after my own heart! And, you did a wonderful job on the edit. Thank you for playing along!

Thanks Amanada…I did an adjustment to my calibrater to see if that makes a difference. Appreciate your comments. 🙂

I love how much her skin glows in your version of her photo. I bet her mum loved it!
