Another Before & After post...

So I had a lot of fun last week doing the blog jump for "before & after" pictures that Monica hosted. I had a friend tell me she had just the picture for me to "make over" this week! :)

Here is the "Before" picture. My friend Janae said that she loved this pic of her daughter with her great-grandma, but she didn't love that her bottom was in the background, changing a diaper!

Original:

The first thing I took care of was exactly what she asked, I just "rubber stamped" her booty out of the picture. However, I feel that even when I cropped the image in and left it in full color, it was pretty obvious that something had been tweaked. See:

So next I played with tweaking some color saturation and levels. Here's a faded, antique tone:

And I also faded it out to look aged:

Finally I just played around with some layers and textures. Here's a floral pattern:

Here's an old love letter, and black/white:

And finally, one that just makes it look cracked and old:
I think that a few of them have a nice touch to them. Janae, if you want to save them I think you can just right click and save, but if you need better quality ones I can e-mail.

Again, I had fun tweaking them! If anyone has any snapshots at home they want tweaked for another week, let me know!
