I have learned a few PhotoShop tricks, but I know I am far from realizing the full potential of my photo editing ability. I had to try the ShaZAM technique from Jessica Sprague's Photoshop Friday! (how could I not try a technique named ShaZAM ... I was a big fan of Shazam (and Isis) in the 70's).
This is a before picture of my brother-in-law and two nephews at a recent graduation celebration. Not the most ideal background, but a good photo of the three of them.
Here's my after shot using her technique. I think it really brightened up the shot without washing out their features.
This week I'm heading to Missouri to see family ... and I can't wait to play around more with these layers on my photos when I return.
What a huge difference! I have read about this technique but have not tried it...I definitely should! Have a great trip!
