Chris & I spent some time tonight post-processing one of his photos of Daphne. He uses Lightroom primarily to process his photos, and I use Photoshop CS4. Chris asked me to show him how to use some of the Photoshop actions and textures we have, and how to fake selective focus. I think we threw everything but the kitchen sink at this one. Here’s the before:

Just a really basic picture of Daphne in front of my car door. And here’s the after:

It’s amazing what you can do in Photoshop, isn’t it? I Gaussian blurred the heck out of her reflection in the door, then added a Nichole Van texture to the entire image. I guess I could go back and take the pink cast out of the reflection, but I think it adds to the Holga color/cross processed vibe.

I think we might have to do a Daddy/Daughter photo shoot tomorrow.
