editing stages

Hi, I just LOVE photography! As previously stated, images here on gmasDiary are not fully edited. They will resemble the middle image above. Levels and color adjustments is just about all that I do to the pictures. The collage illustrates one image at the three editing stages used for my personal and professional pictures. My personal preference is never print the straight out of camera file.

Skin tone straight out of camera is never correct. By adjusting the color and exposure in Adobe Lightroom the image is much more appealing and flattering. The final editing in Photoshop of skin and eye enhancement is especially important for larger sized prints.

From straight out of camera to the final enhancement images takes less than 10 minutes to process. Using the correct camera settings saves tremendous amounts of time in post production of the image. Especially true if there are multiple images to edit!

If you would like information on how I edit my images, please contact me.

Best Wishes,
debra

Isa & Carlos Wedding

Hi, this is the first of many for me. The first wedding I was NOT the photographer. The first Mexican wedding I attended. And the first time I truly felt welcomed as a “stranger”. I say stranger because this young couple is a friend of my daughter. I did not know this couple until the wedding events. It is with great pleasure I can say, I have made a new set of friends.

My daughter is the matron of honor, and my grand daughter was one of three girls who helped with the brides train down the isle. The collage above are just a few of the images I was able to capture. I left the big camera at home and used the grandma camera. The camera has limitations, but I am still quite impressed with what I was able to get. No flash, none of my usual equipment. Just the camera and me!

Congratulations Isa & Carlos!

Best Wishes,
debra
