This is my first time doing a link-up and I just love this idea. Basically, we're given the original photo and we get to edit it as we see fit! So, here is the before:
And after a little tweeking from picnik.com (Confession: I have Photoshop that I received for Christmas and have no idea how to use it! haha) here is my edited photo! Enjoy!
This picture reminds me of the movie South Pacific. I thought it looked best aged and with a little more contrast than the original. I first set the temperature to the max then played with the Film Grain effect, I boosted that to almost 70. Then, a little brown and black vignette and viola!
There are some other great edits to check out as well!
Okay, I looove your edit! Can't believe you did that with picnik! You obvs have a great eye... I would encourage you to play with photoshop! Is it Elements or the full program? I can definitely give you some good places to start learning if you are interested :) So glad you joined in! :)
ReplyDeleteThank you! It's just elements. I've tried a few tutorials online but most of them are super confusing. I know I've done some things in the past like a button somewhere to make the sky bluer but I couldn't remember how I did it last night. I'd love any advice! I have tons of pictures and I love spicing them up a bit!
ReplyDeletewow! Your edit is seriously beautiful. I love it!
ReplyDeleteAnd thanks for the comment :)
It almost looks like a still from an old movie. Very cool!
ReplyDeleteThank you both! :)
ReplyDeleteYour edit definately brought out the south pacific in it awesome job. I too was scared of photoshop and shy-ed away from it but if you look there are some wonderful blogs to help... try thecoffeeshopblog.com I found some great tutorials there or ask me for some tips sometime I used elements too
ReplyDeleteVery cool! You definitely achieved your goal. The effect is neat.
