Photoshop Help ETA Photos

I don't even know where to begin this post.

Matt and I did some DIY maternity photos yesterday and I thought I could easily navigate Photoshop and edit them. Wrong-o. The only cool thing I discovered was adding a sunburst to make it look like the sun was shining through the trees.

I tried a tutorial that I found on Pinterest, but it involved applying some effect that you had to purchase from the blog editor.

I gave up at that point.

I'm so frustrated.

Here's some of the photos I'm trying to work with:

    I'm definitely going to check out coffee shop blog and PW.

    I'm just trying to sharpen, brighten, lighten, tighten, etc the photos. Just clean them up, ya know? Maybe apply a vintage look/feel to some of them.

  • Well if they're not sharp out of the camera, then PS isn't going to help much Wink
    If you want to play in photoshop, go to image --> adjustments and use those tools (brightness/contrast, hue/saturation, etc). The actions are definitley an easy edit though. If you want to email them to me I can mess with them later tonight. The third one will be a little tougher for you since your face is shadowed, kwim?
