Photo Editing — Adjusting Levels

February 9th, 2010 SuzyQ Leave a comment Go to comments

I am absolutely not a photographer … not even close … but I take a ton of pictures. This is one of my FAVORITE ways to fix them up — adjusting the levels. I already used this nifty little tool in my designing — but never thought to apply that knowledge to my scrapbooking, lol. Don’t be intimidated by this tool — it’s really simple to use. I think it makes powerful improvements to my less-than-professional snapshots. I pretty much use this on every picture on every scrapbook layout I create.

And where did I learn this nifty little trick? From Janet, on The Daily Digi, in an awesome article she posted last year: Photo Editing for Beginners … Working with Levels. Love this article, and she has great screenshots to accompany the instructions. So head on over and learn all about this really cool trick. I promise you won’t be disappointed. And if you use this tip on a picture in one of your future layouts, please link me up. I’d love to see the magic you create!

Be sure to stop by tomorrow for a little gift from me!

    Oh yes…..this is a step I use on EVERY SINGLE photo I scrap with! I think I learned it from Amanda Taylor of TaylorMade Designs but I love Janet’s super-simple teaching approach, too. Thanks for posting so others can learn how easy it is to look like a near professional photog!
