Sometimes we have that favorite photo that we just love, but there is just something we want to save about it.
Maybe it’s too busy in the background? Once I took a lovely picture of my friends on a water ride, only to find an old pot-bellied man in a speedo walking right in the background behind the shot, haha!
Maybe it’s way too underexposed and we think it should just end up in the trash. Maybe we want something removed from the shot. You don’t want some trash on the ground next to your beautifully posing dog, or that leash and collar just need to be removed to complete the total picture you wanted.
Or maybe we just need some lighting or clarity type changes…remove some harsh shadows, brighten the subject to make them really pop, or change the mood of a picture just by some simple color changes.
These are just a few of the things we can do, through the magic of our photo editing service!
Below are some examples of some photos that needed a little fixing…
BeforeAfterThis was a pic taken of me and one of my first huskies, McCartney, taken over 20 years ago. Some cropping, color adjusting, removal of some items in the background and noise reduction from this grainy old picture, gave us subjects a little bit more pop while still preserving the integrity of the photo.BeforeAfterThis was my special girl, Nali, who passed away many moons ago. Another picture taken all of 20 years ago with God knows what camera. Here we removed the leash and collar, extended the background so the crop wasn’t so tight around the dog, and brought down the exposure on the white fur on her face and chest. A slight dark vignette to top it off and we have a darker, yet much cleaner photo, that can now be printed and framed with a lot less noise (graininess to the picture).BeforeAfterThis was a quick edit I just did tonight, just so you can see how a few changes can make a dramatic difference! I took this under-exposed image of Loki in my backyard on a very overcast evening. By bringing out the clarity in those awesome clouds and creatinga different crop, I was able to bring a much different vibe to this photo. I call it “Waiting for the Storm to Roll In”. I also replaced buildings with trees, and I did leave a few more white highlights than I think I want, so back into processing and I can quckly make those areas match the background colors a little more if I choose to.
If you have a photo that you would like me to try and work some magic on, get started by visiting our website shop and taking advantage of our editing service to help you preserve your photos.
