Hannah in the Springtime, Salt Lake City UT, May 31 2010, Midday

Canon SX120 F3.5, 1/640″, ISO100

Edits:Color replace turning golden brown to bright yellow.

My goal here was to make the tennis racket match the scene better. While I was working with my threshold, I found that the color of the chair was close enough to get picked up. The shadowed part of the chair became a brighter, translucent hue, and also brought out a touch of texture. I liked it, and I kept it.

Canon SX120 F4.0 1/125″ ISO100

Edits: History brush in screen mode on eyes, opacity at 20%, Saturation down and lightness up on teeth

The sky was stormy, which gave us great even lighting, but it turned out to be not so dramatic. Making her eyes pop really helped.

In the spotlight, Rexburg Idaho, 31 May 2010

Canon SX120, F2.8, 1/80″ ISO 400

Edits: Color Match with first portrait, fade at 20%

I love the splash of yellow that the Color Match tool gave me here.

  1. Wow I love the color in all of these portraits. They turned out really good! I really like the bright colors in the first one, normally portraits seems to be darker toned, but this one works really well. Great job!

  2. I really like the portrait of the girl in the chair. It turned out really cool. The color change is very subtle and I’m not sure I see it very well. Nice job though.

  3. The color replace on the spotlight photo is absolutely fantastic. I love the yellows it brought out from the other photo. I also liked the edits on hannah’s eyes.
