Before and After

My poor neglected blog was screaming for some attention so I decided to give it a special treat with a yummy before and after picture. My long time friend, Kelly, e-mailed me a picture from her wedding and asked if it would be possible to touch up the tan line on her arm and I was excited to give it a try (I always love a chance to practice my photoshop skills). But of course I got carried away and couldn't stop with just the tan line. I tried a variety of my amazing Totally Rad actions and came up with a few different options for her to chose from. I couldn't pick a favorite... maybe the black and white? Feel free to leave any feedback : )

For any copyright purposes, I did not take this picture... I only did the post processing.

Here is the Original untouched image



And here are the afters (each have slight variations in tone and color) : )










Kelly and Craig... You look absolutely gorgeous and completely in love! Thank you for letting me share your picture!

Wednesday night I headed out to Studio Altius (owned by the amazing David J. Cerven) for their monthly brew-ha-ha.

I had a ton of fun and can't wait until the next one... if you're interested in coming along you can contact me for details or check out Studio Altius @ www.studioaltius.com for a schedule of upcoming events... they also offer a variety of classes and rentals... definitely a great place so check it out!!!
