Before and After is a fun photo editing blog hop hosted by Monica at Pixel Perfect Blog. To see her edit and others, click on the button above.
Yesterday Brad and I went to the local park with Lindsay and her kids. Brad and Felicity enjoyed swinging together in the baby swing.
It thought the picture could be brightened a little so I used a preset in Lightroom 3.0 Beta. I toned down the exposure and slid the recovery bar the right a little.
I also rounded the corners a little in Gimp.l don't really like the way the corners look on this one. I am still trying to figure out how to round corners just the way I like in Gimp.They don't seem rounded enough to me. :-)
Oh, and because Brad is squinting in this photo I should explain- Brad did have a hat to shield his eyes from the sun but it was so windy that it wouldn't stay on. I need to get him a summer hat like Felicity has that has a strap for his chin. :-)
What cuties! I love the edit. Makes the picture seem more alive.
