There were problems with the colour in this image. It's heading toward midnight, and I decided to play a while in Photoshop.
I have a more natural, unprocessed image of the same child but photoshop can be so much fun. It took me into a world that felt like art, beyond the art of photography.
I do minimal work on my portraits in Photoshop ... minimal because I think it's more important that people see that they are beautiful and not in need of photoshopping however ... my daughter goes in there and tweaks just the subtlest things in the most beautiful ways
She is an artist in Photoshop ... and she gave me three variations of the same photograph, having done minimal work on them.
I have been itching to know how to do this thing in Photoshop, since forever ...
Tonight, Gert very patiently, took me through the process. I use Photoshop all the time but only for what I need it for. I've never studied ... sigh.
Thanks to the amazing Hei Astrid who inspired me with her beautiful blog.
