I found this photo of my mom and dad when I was scanning my old photos last week. They were probably about 18 years old. Aren't they adorable?
I have always loved this photo, so I didn't do much in the way of editing, I created a levels adjustment layer to darken the blacks, then I ran coffeshops creamy chocolate B&W action and turned off the B&W layer (don't I always?), to give it a little more vintage look. I also used the spot healer to fix a few scratches on the photo.

and my Mom.
Great job with the touch up...it's interesting though that so much processing these days tries to create your before. :)
ReplyDeleteIsn't it fun to look at old photos? :)

When I saw the thumbnail of this I thoght "Wow, she did an edit to make her photo look like one from the 60s or 70s era! Cool!!" ...Haha! I think you made just the right edit to it...such a sweet shot, too! :)
