Showing off some Light Room Magic

This was a random flower that I snapped and all I did was raise the Black level of the photograph to eliminate the background. It is my current wallpaper.

I just desaturated this photo and brightened up her eyes and blurred the surrounding area using the brush tool.

I used the brush tool to lighten up the brightness of the eyes and add a little blush to those adorable cheeks!

Old photo

(Before)

So I decided to do a little brushing up on Adobe Photoshop Lightroom and found this old picture of my friend Star to play around with.

After

Adobe Photoshop Lightroom is a pretty amazing piece of software that takes the best of photoshop and places in an intuitive user-friendly photo-editing interface. It also gives you many interesting tools too!

Notice the the soft highlights in Star's eyes (they look much better in the program, blogger tends to distort colors) they were added by using a simple brush tool that allows you to specifically target an area you would like to adjust.
