Photo Restoration!

This is my mothers Wedding photo, that I found with a plastic knife stuck to it and decided to restore it! It took me forever, as you can see I started with just color correcting it and getting the actual image to look pleasing. Then the fun began, the obvious thing I had to fix was the giant discolored line going over my mom. Let's just say there was a LOT of patch tool and clone stamp going on and went back and forth a lot between the two. The hardest parts were her right arm, her Bouquet, and her Vail mainly because I didn't have much information that matched well to replace the dirty parts with. I decided to add a couple touches in the end like taking out the picture frame in the background, to make the picture look that much more pleasing. I am very happy with the results especially because I did this when I was first learning photoshop. Photo restoration is great method and skill to know because a lot of people have old photos they want to fix and preserve including turning it into a digital file. So if if ever need a photo restored let me know!

It's raining cats and dogs!

I thought you all might enjoy this! This is one of the first images I created using differnt pictures and combining them on photoshop (almost 2 years ago now). The different pictures are the roof, Demetrius, and all of the animal pictures are seperate pictures. I just thought it was a fun idea, and I also see I could have done a little more to it to make it realistic, but i think it's really cool for the knowledge I had of photoshop back then. ENJOY!

A favorite

I've gotten a lot of great feed-back about this image. I spent a lot of time in photoshop working on it to make it the image I wanted and I feel I definatly did that!
It's two pictures, 1.) an old church 2.) a brown paper bag. and I mostly messed with the opacitiy of each and used some other techniques also.
The church in this photo was the church that my boss grew up in and she took me here to take pictures. She actually hadn't seen this image until last week. I was so excited to show her and she completly loved it. I love how much it means to her and can't wait to give her a copy! It's also a favorite of Johns and one of my best friends dad Steve, everyone tells responds to it differntly and I enjoy hearing what everybody thinks.
