Just playing around

I downloaded a cool new Photoshop action from one of the websites I visit. It's called Cindy's Periwinkle Haze. I haven't really been playing with the camera much lately, so I thought I'd try it on a couple of older photos that I thought it might look cool on. Let me know what you think!


Just to show the difference, here is my original color edit of Addie in the bathtub at around 7 months old. Actually, looking back, this is shortly after I got my camera and photoshop. I can see lot's of stuff I could go back and fix, but that would be a whole different postHere it is with Cindy's Periwinkle Haze Action and a little bit of sharpening. Kind of different and neat. She looks kind of cold though, don't you think?
Here is one of Aidan on the beach. On this edit I went for a vintage look. I've actually always liked this, but I figured what the heck.So, I totally re-edited the original and added the Cindy's action. Notice something missing that my other edit had? I also attempted to clone out that blue bucket that's been kind of bugging me. I normally say that I'm a sucky cloner, but think I did a good job this time.
And tried it on a black and white pic of my nephew, Elliot. This was my original B&W edit.and with periwinkle. I also tried a different crop. I like them both, but it definitely gives a different effect.
