Photo editing help!

[mpatry]

Ok, you ladies are usually awesome at giving opinions/ suggestions on problems... so I need your help!

I have these photos from my DD's first haircut, and the colours are horrible! (I didn't take the photos ) What would you suggest I do to them to make them scrappable? I use PSP. Thanks!!

Here they are:

Well that lime green wall certainly isn't helping matters, lol.
I would try converting to sepia or black white. Otherwise that lime wall is gonna limit your kit choices, lol.

[crystalbella77]

yeah..I would just crop it closer up so there's not as much wall and then turn it black and white or sepia depending on the kit.

I'd change the puke green color to a different color or B/W with selective coloring.

I am far too lazy for that, LOLOL! Good idea though

[mpatry]

LOL, you guys see my problems with the colours then... LOL.

I'm horrible at turning my photos B/W, if anyone uses PSP, how do you do it? hmmm.... sepia might be nice too if I can figure that out too. I've never really played with my photos much, just use them as is. And I have trouble finding scripts for PSP to do it for me, photo editing is about the only time I wish I used PS or PSE instead, I really envy their actions!

Thanks for the ideas ladies!

Send them to me and I'll do it! jen AT jennilyndesigns DOT COM

By the way...remember I sell photo scripts for PSP? I may or may not be moving to a different site at the end of the month...or maybe not.

I remember you advertising one on Facebook a while back, do you have any b/w or sepia ones?

[Jennilyn]

Not really....not yet anyway. I do have one called A Touch of Cocoa that adds a bit of sepia to your photo.

[mpatry]

well I did a search for PSP scripts and found a few to try out. And I'll keep an eye on your script releases too Jen Thanks!

go here:

it is a plug-in type thing for PSP and has all kinds of options for editing photos. Lots of presets and then you can fiddle with it and fine tune the options on the presets

[crystalbird]

My first thought was to change them to b&w, but then Col's comment about limiting your kit choices made me think of this (Although the pics may still look better converted to b&w/sepia)...

[mpatry]

Well, I didn't turn them b/w or sepia... but I did use a script on them that made the colours much nicer, and I was able to then find a kit to use (or a couple that is). I'll go upload my layout now!

[mpatry]

New layout with photos edited!

[Ebony]

Wow - you worked wonders with those photos! I love your completed layout Great work!

[crystalbird]

Oooh - that turned out really pretty!
