Asher 2012

so beautiful Cheryl! I love the b/w photo and how large it is, plus the blend work. He is absolutely beautiful.. is this Asher? I love the soft baby blue apers and those sweet buttons. Love it!

@cfile Thanks, Christa! I learned everything I know about blending from you, so if you love it, pat yourself on the back. LOL Honestly, I could never figure out how to do it (successfully) until I watched your videos. Yes, it's Asher - I took this picture of him in 2012 and it was VERY dark. I decided the best treatment for it was to blend it - I actually used two different papers, so that I could work that blue plaid in. I didn't want to "ruin" it by putting a title on the page. Haha

@Cherylndesigns aw thanks Cheryl.. I think your b/w and lighting is perfect but you could always add level or curve adjustment layers to lighten it up a bit (future photos) or sometimes even exposure but I really think this is perfect!! I am glad you learned from the tutorials!! I didn’t see the title so silly of me but he is a beautiful baby!! Perfect page!! Great clustering and shadows too at the top!! Love it!!!

@cfile I really "played" with it and just couldn't lighten it up to suit me. I'd love to see what you could do with it - you'd probably knock my socks off. I love the black and white and am not sure it was SO dark. I don't like using flash and probably intended to edit the heck out of it. I like the way it looks blended, though. I've never used it because of the intensity of the darkness.

Cheryl, beautiful blended photo of Asher and beautiful buttons and cluster on your gorgeous page!

@DigiGrace Thanks so much for your sweet comments, Grace.

You did an AWESOME job with this photo, especially if it was as dark as you said it was. The powers of skills in Photoshop.

@mcurtt I know, right? Photoshop is awesome! Thanks for the sweet comments.
