to Photoshop or not to Photoshop …

… that is the question … well, if you are a photo geek like I am that is the question LOL. Here’s the thing with me and Photoshop – I’m not a big Photoshopper. Don’t get me wrong, I edit every single photo that I take. I’m not a big editor though. I try to get things right in the camera, and then I’ll just kind of tweak it. If I had to rely on my PS skills to “make” an image, well it, in all probability would not be all that fantastic. My drill is: crop (if I want to), adjust the contrast, and adjust the saturation. I’ll also convert to black and white, and sometimes add a vintage filter if I think the image will benefit from it. Again, just basics. On occasion though I do feel the need to play. This was just my 3 guys talking through the fence to the little girl that lives behind us. It was a snapshot, and I was bored, so into PS I went …

  1. i totally agree with you about editing, that’s how i am with it too! love the way these pictures came out tho, very fun!

  2. Well I’m PS all the way baby….I see things in ways that my camera just can’t convey because it sees like a machine and not like me. I’m not sure I would like photography without PS. I’m sure I would find other ways of expressing myself thru the lens, but none of them would be as fun in my opinion! :~)

  3. I love your work Aimee!!!!
