edit: IMG_4550

This is not my photo, it is an edit as requested in the Helping Hands group here: www.flickr.com/groups/helping_hands_photo_editing_and_pho...

 

Original by: cocobsweetphoto.

 

All editing done with Adobe Photoshop Elements 8 and the Noiseware Community Edition.

 

I started this edit by rotating clockwise just a bit. After rotating, I used Image>Resize>Scale to recompose the shot. I felt the pom pom was too close to the edge of the frame and thought it detracted rather than added to the shot.

Layer>New Adjustment Layer>Levels

I auto adjusted and then adjusted the middle shadow slider to brighten it up a bit more.

Then I used the virtualPhotographer plug-in and chose the childhood preset.

 

After this I brought the edit into Noiseware and used the portrait preset to remove the noise.
