This little guy was REALLY busy and really distracted by the car. But I think I captured a few cute ones! This first one is my fave, b/c he was quite the little ham...

******** Still Learning********

I also learned about the Sponge Tool for these proofs. (Yes, I admit, I don't know everything, LOL!) When I was proofing, I kept noticing these over-saturated color casts... an over abundance of yellows in his face and TOO much greens in the grass.

So someone mentioned that I try the sponge tool set at Desaturation at 8% and then lightly stroking the area. It worked! (If you try it be careful you don't lose too much skin tone!) Here is the before....

I also learned that photoshop compresses the image in order to fit in on your screen. So to get an accurate representation of the picture, you need to view it at 100% - when it is huge. The 'splotches' are likely just what happens to certain areas of a picture when they are compressed so tightly to fit on your screen. The issue is much better if you look at the picture in PS at 25%, 50% or 75% or 100%. It's the in-between viewing sizes that can cause problems.

How would ya'll like a "Photo Tip Friday" for a while? I've been thinking about doing this for a little bit. Maybe a photoshop tip one week, a Photography tip the next, and so on... would ya'll be interested?
