Guest Posting

We have been having torrential, I mean insane, rain here over the weekend, which means a long string of power outages and no internet. While I was attempting to create a post from my hubbies phone I got so frustrated and was having a minor temper tantrum when I thought about how absolutely ridiculous I was being and how grateful I should be that I was in a home that barely leaked and had plenty of supplies to last a long crisis needs be. This is miles away from the majority of those that live around us here in Timor. So, I put down the phone and decided the post could wait and spent the rest of the day cooking muffins to giveaway. But Monday is here and the sun is shinning! So, have ya'll been following the "DIYers Big Ticket Item" posts Kathleen is doing over on Grosgrain? I follow everything Kathleen does ha! One of the items she talked about was Photoshop. I am obviously a huge fan of Photoshop and am constantly learning something new about it. It's price tag does make it prohibitive though, but today is your lucky day! Shauna over at Schwin and Schwin is GIVING AWAY a Photoshop suite! I know! It is huge! When she emailed and talked to me about it I was pretty floored. This is a huge opportunity for a lot of photographers and creators to take their work to the next level. She asked if I would be willing to teach a few tricks I use in photoshop and I said "heck yes!" (even though I fell 100% inadequate to be teaching anyone to do anything in photoshop ha!) If you would like to know the quirky ways I sometimes soften skin or brighten eyes subtly taking a photo from this:

Then hop on over! And HELLO! Do whatever it takes to get yourself entered into this giveaway!

  1. Kelly, you are so awesome! You know I LOVE these posts! I had been "brightening eyes" a totally different way and yours looks SOOOO much easier! I agree gaussian blur looses SO much of the fine detail that you desperately need when shooting littles. I like your skin smoothing ideas too but I usually use a free action from CoffeeShop blog that works great too!

    Love and Hugs, Jess
