I am so addicted to changing my pictures to black and white. I love how you can change the look of a picture with a click of the button. I change the majority of my pictures to black and white. I plan for my photo walls to be all black and whites.
Simple. Cohesive. Classic.
Taking something and making it my own makes gives me such a rush of satisfaction. There is something about the control factor I guess? It's the same way with being able to edit pictures.
I love Picasa. It's quite an addiction as well. I love to take pictures...but I am an amateur at best. I've learned a few tricks here and there...but Picasa makes me feel like a pro.
I could show you dozens of pictures I have changed to black and white. But I wanted to show you one of my recent favorites.
This was taken at a friend's princess birthday party. There is a lot going on in this picture. All the bright colors...the ugly floor...and a princess who would not be still or look at the camera. (I think I have scarred her for life)
After cropping the face, I used the Straighten mode to un-tilt her head a bit. Then used the soft focus.
I love this picture.
(If she were only this angelic all of the time :)








Wow. That photo is so dreamy and angelic like for sure. It doesn't even seem like it came from the purple photo. I have photoshop elements, but I still use Picasa for lots of editing. It is a great tool.
ReplyDeleteThat is beautiful! Love how you edited that.

You did a great job on this photo...you've got to frame it!
ReplyDeleteCute photo. She does look like and angel now. I see you like thrift store shopping, so I'll see what else you're up to!
ReplyDeleteVery cute picture. I have just spent the day working on my photo gallery pictures. I am having a hard tome narrowing it down. I have too many pictures, I think...
