• You are a beautiful couple and the new photo does not change that; however, it is an amazing transformation with the lighting and the deletion of the telephone pole! I am imagining how much better my photos would be if I had Photoshop. I might not have to trash a lot of the photos that I take.

• Gotta love Photoshop! :-) Well done on making that pictures into a masterpiece :-)

  • Thanks Jenny!

• The power of Photoshop is so incredible. I still have so much to learn. Great job tweaking the photo.

  • Thanks Wendi. I have only harnessed a small amount of Photoshop's powers--I in awe of how much I stll don't know. Love that program.

• Absolutely beautiful.

• Gorgeous! I really need to learn photoshop!

• Will you come over and teach me some tricks and teach me how to use my software? I have had it for a long time, but can figure out how to use it?

  • Hi Diane! I'd be glad to teach you some tricks! Also, if I were you, I'd do some reading online. That's how I learned pretty much everything I know--that, a book from the library, and just experimentation. I love the Pioneer Woman's tutorials because she's so straightforward (thepioneerwoman.com under her photography section).

• Lovely, lovely. Any way Photoshop can maintain the light airy you AND keep the amazing sky (sans telephone pole) behind you???

  • Hah! I knew you were going to ask that. =) Yes, there is a way, and it's not too complicated. It just involves making a layer with the original sky and 'erasing' that part of the picture. A the time, I just didn't feel like bothering though. =)

    • I was wondering that same thing!! The sky in the first one is so beautiful! Also - why did your husband's hand become all blurry in the second one?

      • The blurry hand is carelessness on my part (I did a layer of blur that I 'erased' on the parts I wanted to look sharper). You're quite perceptive!

• Hey! That is Heidi's weddin' dress, eh?
  Looks fan-tan-bamtastic on you.

  • It is indeed! It was . . . quite tight. =) There was much groaning of the zipper.

• Jenna, you look incredibly gorgeous. Really stunning, and with great hair. Looks like your comfort level with the camera is slowly coming along... and/or that picture was taken by a sister, and you were comfortable making intense eyes at her, before bursting out laughing. Anyway beautiful picture, and you're a lovely couple. But I'm still not a total photoshop convert. I like the moody original shot, and the beatific hollywood heaven photoshop perfection effect kind of makes me squirm, in general. Or maybe I am just using principles as an excuse for my massive laziness. Who knows....

  • Thanks Kate! And yes, I went for a little more of the 'beatific glow,' but in other edits I love going grainy and more raw. I'm sure there is a way to keep the moodiness of the original, I just didn't go that route. It's not Photoshop's fault! =) It's a great program, and if you know enough (which I don't yet) you can achieve any look you want.

• That is awesome that you can erase a stake through someone's head! lol! I SO need photoshop--the free program I use is very slow, very frustrating, and I hardly ever get where I want to with it. I definitely can not remove stakes from people's heads with it and if I tried to brighten a photo that much, it would look awful. Great job with this--it's a beautiful photo of you guys even before the editing, but def benefited from it!
