Family Photos

I've been a bad girl and not posted anything on here in awhile again!  But, today I was working on the latest family group photo that was taken when we had our get-together over Memorial Day weekend and I wanted to share with you the slight changes I made to the photo using my Photoshop editing program.

Here is Liz setting up for the pictures.  The 2 chairs are where the matriarch and patriarch will be sitting.  :D

TAKE #1
Everyone gathered, leaving a spot for Liz to run to while the camera counted down.  Not bad for the first shot, but Kim's face is pretty much hidden, Abby and Thad were not smiling and Chance was shading his eyes. Even Tim was not smiling in this one.  And, you can't see much of Nathanael's face, either, but that didn't change in either picture.

TAKE #2
Better, even baby Araya was looking forward in this one.  You can see Kim and Tim, Abby and Thad are smiling.  Now we can't see Kara's pretty face.  So, since this is the better of the two pictures, I decided to edit this one to make Kara more visible.

I enlarged this picture to show you what I "cropped" from this TAKE #1 photo to add to the TAKE #2 photo

And, voila!  Here is the new picture with everyone's face visible (for the most part)!  :D  You should be able to see a bigger copy of it by clicking on it.  

On a sad note, Cheryl and Addy are missing from the pictures!  If they had been here, it would have been EVERYONE in our beautiful family that God has so blessed us with! 19 in all, if I counted correctly, LOL!  I counted 3 times and got a different number every time!  :D

Now to work on this photo so I can get it printed at Walmart, one for us and one for Gram!  Anyone else in the family want one?  If so, leave a comment with the size you want!  Love you all!

Nite!
