This picture is of Carson Johns, one of my best friend, Tasha's, baby. (I actually watched this little guy be born!) He was born February 21st, but I used his photo for this project because I had never done anything with them prior. I figured I could kill 2 birds with 1 stone, since now I can print out this picture and give it to Tasha!
The application I used to edit the photos was Picnik- which I really enjoyed, because it is web-based. The first thing I did on Picnik after I uploaded the photo of Carson was click "auto fix"- it brightened up the picture alot. Then, I used the "Exposure" tab and increased both the exposure and contrast to the picture. Next, I sharpened the picture just a tad. Then, to add a little warmth to Carson's complexion, I increased the temperature a little bit. Next, I used the Effects link and applied the "Orton-ish" effect to put an angel-like effect to Carson (I mean, he is a little angel :) ) Next, I used the Matte app, which is the whitish blue fade around the picture. Last, I used the picture frame border, and added the blue border around the whole picture.
Now that I have finished editing Carson's picture, I'm reminded a little about why I used to edit pictures! haha, I stopped editing pictures a long time ago because it just got too time consuming- but applications like picnik are incredibly user friendly, and worked really well.
