Another goal is to do cool stuff with my photos on Photoshop.
So, the light outside the other night was really great and the girls looked a little rumpled but very cute even after a grueling (ha!) day at school, so since they are my only two willing photography subjects, we did a few shots and then I played with them in Photoshop and wanted to share a "new to me" option I found while fiddling.
Here is Sammie's photo SOOC (straight out of camera):

And here is the photo after I brightened it up a bit then used the "Diffuse Glow" option in Photoshop. I love the effect!

I had just learned some complicated photoshop tricks after getting PS Elements for my birthday, but I promptly forgot it all when I stopped photoshopping and started studying for the board exam. I'm looking forward to getting back to it!
Favorite tricks? I really like the Orton effect.
My favorite new thing is an add on. It's AV Brothers Page Curl! I love curling my photos. It's too cool!
