Touch Yourself…Up
How To Use Photoshop to Make Yourself Look Like a Model
I attended a wedding a few weeks ago but I forgot my camera. My friend Sarah said that she would send me all of the photos from her camera after she “touched herself up.”
“Touch yourself up?” I asked.
“Oh,” she responded, “I never upload pictures before I make myself look better.”
Sarah confided that she uses Adobe Photoshop to smooth her skin, get rid of her age marks, remove any evidence of weight gain and a bunch of other stuff before she uploads her photos to FlickR.com. What vanity, I secretly thought. How do I that?
“How did you learn how to do all that?” I asked Sarah. Sarah’s great at her sales job, but I have never known her to be a computer whiz. That’s what I do and I have always thought Photoshop was kind of difficult to use.
She said, “I bought these videos called How To Edit Your Digital Photos Like a Pro and it made all that hard stuff so easy.”
I checked out the program. It’s pretty cool because you can get started immediately as all of these training videos are available for online viewing or download. Also, there was a money-back guarantee so what did I have to lose.
Sarah uses it to make herself look like a model (and it works!) but I was more interested in removing red-eye, enhancing landscape photos, removing unwanted objects and generally making my pictures look better.
I have to say…Sarah was right.
These videos made the previously difficult Photoshop simple to use. I highly recommend them. Whether you want to make yourself look like a model, or simply make all of your photos look more professional, check out the How To Edit Your Digital Photos Like a Pro video series.
Enjoy,
