]]> 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.

]]> A polaroid of Renee made with a free action

I came across a website that gives away Photoshop actions yesterday and tried one of them out. It makes a Polaroid photo (called A2D Polaroid600) out of your photo. :)

I had already figured out how to make polaroids, but this is nice that someone has made up an action plug-in and you can get a polaroid just by clicking the play button!

This a polaroid of Renée I made from a picture I took yesterday while we were on location shooting the www.absolutiontv.com promo. The little kids were having fun with an outdoor air conditioning unit making their hair blow.
