Camera Raw: Black and White

This photo I am about to share, I cannot take the credit for taking it, but I did however edit it.  My sister took it with my camera(she has the same camera though) and I must say she did a great job! This is of her little girl. Now I know that I just did a photo of her in the last post, but she is just so cute I could help but post another!

To achieve this look of the photo, I used camera raw's adjustment brush. I set the brush to 100% density and turned the exposure down a bit. Then to get the pink hat back, but lighter in color, I used the same brush, only I turned the density down to 80% and painted the it back.

New Camera Raw: cute baby

So I have decided to still update this blog, and try out new projects to post. For this post, I took some photos of my niece in the pool. Then I edited in Camera Raw because the shadow on her face was too dark. I will show you the before and after!

I lightened her face, and made the background more vibrant by using the adjustment brush!
