Touch Up Tuesday: Silly Hannah

Before:

The photo above is my original shot or SOOC if you will. Hannah was being silly and giggling about her belly button. I then downloaded the photo and edited it using two different programs. What I ask of you is if you have any suggestions for this photo or if you have a favorite. The photo gallery just had updates so I am relearning where everything is on that, but that is what I am most used to using. The GIMP 2 editing system is pretty easy to use and I do recommend it (remember I'm not a photographer), but I don't know what everything does yet. I have a lot to learn. Please let me know what you think! Thank you everyone!


After:
Using My Photo Gallery Editor
I took the shadows out, warmed it up, used the highlights, brightened it and just a little contrast.

 After:
Using GIMP 2 Editing
 I played with the colors, brightened and contrasted as well as sharpened the eyes and adjusted the curves.

  2. Hi Nicole! I'm loving your first edit the best. It has warmer tones, and I prefer my pictures a little warmer like that too. Also, it seems like the couch fades into the background more in the first one. But if I would have only seen the 2nd edit, I would have loved that too! What a gorgeous face..you can't go wrong! :-)

  3. Thank you for your opinions ladies. I was trying to get a clean, but soft look with this photo. I don't think that is for me. I don't think I can get what I want out of that. I really do like a warmer photo with a deep contrast. I might work on this one again. Thanks again!

  4. The first edit is just the right touch to showcase the photo. And such a cute subject.
