Photos and editing

I used to put a lot of time into editing photos (4.5 years ago-pre twins.)....making them look cute, changing color, playing with the tones and all those other technical terms that I have no idea what they mean!  


The art of photography has come a long way and thanks to digital cameras and editing, you can make a photo look really cool - even if the photo you took was sub par.


Not that I take sub par photos.


Not at all.


I'm sure they are fine.


Par.


Or maybe close to Par. I'm not a golfer, so I can't use Bogey or Birdie correctly in a sentence. 


But I did discover a very simple online editing tool (pic---monkey...without the dashes, but didn't want anyone googling it, to find my site :) ) that has simple features that you can complicate if you really feel the need.


I don't.


But 3 computers ago I had great photo editing software...and now I don't.


But this one I found will be my new favorite!

Now, you may not like the change, but I just like the difference. 


Look at this one:

Before

After

Not drastic, just different. I love how easy it was to put color on just one area. My old software I had to draw around the object to show which to color/b&w. So tedious.  Hours of work for one photo.


This took me 7.5 minutes. 


Or 13.


But it was quick none the less. 


Cheers!


OH, and I promise better quality photos posted to this site from now on! :)
