Before & After Blog Hop w/ Pixel Perfect


I look forward to this •°o.Oblog hopO.o°• every week! I know, I'm such a photog nerd. I can't help it! I'm obsessed with {photography}! Anywho, my fave part is visiting everyone who joins in and seeing their before & after posts! It's so fun! It's also fun to share some of my own before & afters. Okay, so if you would like to join in on the blog hop, just visit Monica over at Pixel Perfect and link up your own before & after! The rules are simple. Post the SOOC (straight out of camera), or "Before" photo, and then post your edited, "After" photo! Share what program, and what version* of the program you used to do the edit, and a rundown of some of the steps you took. Then head back on over to Pixel Perfect and link up!
*If you use Adobe Photoshop, please share if you used CS4, Elements 7, etc.

 {Before}

 {After}

A sneaky little grin from my gorgeous niece {Brinley}! She turns 15 4 this month, and I snapped this when she was opening presents at her birthday party.

First I pulled the RAW file open in DPP {Digital Photo Professional}. I did some adjustments with he exposure, and contrast, desaturated slightly, and sharpened just a tad. Then I converted to JPEG and opened in Photoshop Elements 7 where I resized for web, rounded the corners, and added the watermark.
