Before and after

So you all know I am useless on Photoshop. I think I only now about 5% of what it actually does. I don't even know what a layer is!
But I downloaded MCP Mini Quick Clicks presets http://www.mcpactions.com/lightroom-presets.html and again I admit that I didn't even know that presets existed!! But they are so fun and easy
The above photo is honestly opened in ACR then click on Cloudy day white balance and then click on Light bright and its done!!
LOVE!!!!!!!!!

Before and After

So I had some people (well one person) ask how I edited this photo of Amiee. So I thought I could be super fancy and do a before and after series!
So here is the EXIF data (Exchangeable image file format)
Before:
Canon 450D
50mm
1/800
f/2.8
ISO: 200
Mode: AV

Edit:
Porcelain Retouch @ 44% found here: http://prophotoshow.net/seim_effects/2009/11/14/hollywood-effects2-free-actions/
Define and Sharpen 70%
Quick Edge Burn 30%
Sponge tool on saturate at 11% on her hair

So there you have it. Pretty easy really and not much of a difference but just made it Perk up a bit!!
