Project 12 - starting off the year on the right foot!

I finally finished my 2010 layouts, and now, I can say I am officially caught up on 2011 so far. I know it's only two months in, but it's the thought that counts. ;)

The February layout was made with the ASD March kit. The January layout was made with the January Studio Calico kit. Love using kits for these - all the pieces I need are usually already put together.

Now to find the March sketch...

Supermoon!

I can't really tell a difference from a regular full moon. But, the skies were clear and the moon was definitely bright! I did a levels adjustment in PSE (I must not have chosen the right WB, I think I left it on "flash" oops). Then a tiny contrast adjustment on some and ran a sharpening action. Here are two versions. What do you think?

I used two different actions, either one look better than the other?

10 pounds. 3 months.

That's the goal. :)

Off to bed, so I don't snack while typing...

POTD - March 6

I certainly don't take a photo a day. Some days I take none, other days, I'll take 30. Today I decided to press the "manual focus" button on my camera. I think I will be rereading the manual, since I really have no idea what I was doing. But, I did have a willing subject, as you can see.

I didn't bother cloning out the stray hairs. Just a quick adjustment to the levels and removed the color cast. I did use a new, free action from Pure Photoshop Actions (on their Facebook page) to resize and sharpen for the web. I think I will be using the action frequently for FB photos. I've been reading the Scott Kelby book for PSE8 and finally had an "ah-ha" moment with levels. Now I just need to figure out curves. If anyone has a good tutorial somewhere for curves, I would greatly appreciate it!
