two great photo editing tutorials...

i stumbled upon these tutorials tonight on Lisa's site (yay for late night breastfeeding sessions) and had to share them... i'm a fluke photographer... any great shots i get are purely accidental and i haven't the first clue how to properly use my camera (a simple Cannon S3 IS)... the same thing goes for my photo editing software... i've learned a few tricks from online tutorials in my years using Photoshop, but i'm still mastering the Elements version i have on my Mac...

the first tutorial is on adjusting your camera's white balance settings... i will definitely be trying this next time i photograph one of my cards (i don't think i could get my toddler to stay still long enough to photograph him in the same light)...

the second is on adjusting the levels on a photo... i quickly did this with the last card i did for Miss J's birthday... here's the side-by-side comparision... it's fairly obvious, but the one on the left is the original photo, the one on the right is the adjusted photo...

so, please go on over to sideoats + scribbles, try out her tutorials and let her know how your experiments turned out...
