Editing (12.20.10).

I am a hobby photographer, not a professional, and so despite the fact I know I'd love it, I can't justify the cost of editing software. I CAN justify a free copy of a photo editing program that my work had on hand which had never been used. Et voila! Microsoft Digital Image Pro.

This should be fun!

Straight out of the camera.

All out editing, upping contrast, changing lighting, adjusting shadows and midtones, etc. This is TOO much!

Using the program's auto correct features.

Playing with color overlays. I added some color to their eyes and cheeks, and using the 'blemish' editing feature to soften shadows on Luca's face and remove Rohan's Masto site on his forearm (it looks SO weird to me for that to be gone!) and some red splotchiness on his cheeks and chin.

I fully suck at this program thus far, but I think with time I'll get much better. So excited to play around with my pictures!
