Heather from Heather Green Photography posted a link about a new free software you can use to make a nostalgic polaroid-type look out of any digital photo file. It’s easy to use and it looks and sounds just like a polaroid camera, right on your desktop. The image appears slowly, just like it used to with a polaroid camera. Try it for yourself! And then join their Flickr group.

]]> Having a large family, we know how difficult it is to get even ONE good family picture where everyone is looking at the camera and smiling. Thankfully, Photoshop can save the day, or portrait in this case. I was editing a group photo and couldn’t find any one photograph where everyone looked good, so I chose one that had the most people smiling, and replaced the silly looking faces with the same person’s smiling face from another shot, then rotated the replacement until it fit into the original photo. I erased the original face with a soft edged brush so that when the layers were merged, it looked picture perfect! I read a tutorial from the Digital Scrapbook Magazine that describes this process.
