Clean Editing

One of the things I'm learning is how to edit better. I've used Photoshop Elements 6.0 for a few years now and can do quite a few artistic type things with it. My main focus had been on digital scrapbooking. Editing real photos w/o a preset was a new challenge.

I found this tutorial on Pinterest (my favorite time warp!) It really has helped me to make the photos look good and clean before I start playing with the filters and presets.

My second photo shoot was with a friend's kiddos. She was totally happy to just let me try whatever...the baby wasn't quite as eager to be a model, but we finally captured some great shots...and then some with her siblings.
