October Scrappy Sunday: Photo Retouching
Boy, this month, I"m LOVING Photoshop. I just got Scott Kelby's new book on Photo Retouching and I've spent several hours lessening wrinkles, thinning my waistline and generally fooling around.
Here's a 10 minute video on doing a 5 minute retouch on a group shot. ha ha. Please pardon the jerky screencast. I'm still working on being "smooth" with transitions and the software has been giving me fits. Either way, there are some definitely good tips here.

Sorry that it's not embedded. I kept trying and it kept disappearing. I spent the last 4 hours moving it to You Tube where the sound won't play! Feeling cursed....
Here's another video on putting together a scanned scrapbook page. This technique also works for panoramic shots if you have them. Pardon the jumping and skipping video -- I wasn't kidding about feeling cursed! My software has a full on case of the glitch!

Your challenge is to scrap a page of you with a group. I've attached a template in case you want it. It's for those of you hybrid scrappers. Just plug in your pictures, print and scrap.
Enjoy!

Very nicely done! I'm not into digital scrapbooking or photoshop at all. It will be fun to see what everyone does. Thanks for sharing and can't wait to see the video.

I'm so glad to see your message that more videos were coming! This one is fabulous (well except for maybe the video techniques being a bit shaky)!
I learned a lot and I would love to learn more. I'm a bit older than you and I have been really wanting to touch up the few photos that get taken of me. Modest touch-ups of course!!
Thank you so much.
Hugs,
PeggySue

Peggy, I'm so glad you liked it. I love stuff like this. I'm going to get Rob to take my picture this weekend and then see if I can do some retouching on it.
