This week Jessica Sprague has been running a free digital course to show how to manipulate photos. Having had a go at digi-scrapping, I was feeling a little let down with my Photoshop abilities to actually have good photos to use. This course is a basic one, but she is teaching us So.Many.Seriously.Cool techniques. I’ve done just a couple of photos from earlier in the year, and I’m impressed.
Of course, it goes without saying I still need to learn to take better photos to begin with (actually, I’m almost certain I just need a great camera…. *wink*).
So here is an example after Day 3′s lesson. I’ve applied a frame, created a vintage tint and tried a little hand tinting.

Personally, I’d probably apply a little more tinting to Mr 8′s eyes before I get this printed. I definitely wanted a natural, vintage look; but his eyes are so blue, I think it could stand a little more “popping”. What do you think?
Nice photo edit.
Sounds like a great course Kelly. Your photos are great anyway, don’t doubt that! With that photo I agree that popping his eyes more would be perfect, his face looks a little washed out and bluer eyes would just make it. IMHO!
Awesome, Kelly! The photo looks great, but I think popping the eyes would totally make it PERFECT!
