Portraits (Enhancements)

You can't really tell on blogger (very much) but I thought the Match Color trick worked really well even with a completely different picture entirely. I had never used this tool before so I had to mess around with the sliders but I thought it warmed up the picture nicely.

For this picture of my brother I evened out his skin, enhanced his eyes (realistically), and whitened his teeth (just a tad). We were camping so his hair wasn't done but I still thought the picture looked nice. I also added a vignette and boosted the contrast in camera raw.

For this picture I wanted to make their clothes match a little bit better. They were all wearing yellow but Oscar's shirt was a little too bright so I changed the color of yellow it was and Chalee's shirt under her jacket was clashing a little (as well as the writing on her jacket so I changed it to blue to match oscar's overalls. I thought the results turned out well.

  2. Great job with the replace color. I think that I would have stopped at just the shirts, but going in and changing the lettering was a great decision and really help the image. Also great portrait edits. It really cleaned up his face.

  3. Great job editing, of course you're probably so used to it what with your work and crazy requests ;)but they're also good pictures by themselves and that's what makes you a great photographer (both abilities). Great job!

  4. That edit of Clarke is pretty awesome. The blemishes and everything being taken out are very well done. I like the match color as well it really brings out the unity in the family.

  6. These are great shots Andrea! I love the subtle changes you made to your brother. His skin looks great but the changes are so subtle you can't even tell. And I like the color change you made on the little girl's yellow shirt. I think it was a good choice because it makes them look more together.
