Before and After...Grand Canyon edition



It was noon when we arrived at the Grand Canyon.
The sun was a blazin' down.
I was sad.
I know it happens to be the worst time to take pictures.
Oh well, what can you do?
Nothing, but take pictures!
Here is my before.
Yes, I know...
S-girl's backside is cute as a button.
And yet, for me, it is a tad distracting.
Well, hello clone tool.
You are such a smart little thing!

Here's a post card just for you!

Greetings from the Grand Canyon.
We are having lots of fun and many adventures.
I puked all night, but look at me now.
I hope you have a really great day!
~Sincerely,
J-boy



Hike on over to Pixel Perfect for more before and after fun.
This picture was edited in Photoshop Elements.

You're a cloaning machine! Loved the postcard.
I am so jealous right now! I'm about to get kids up and ready for school, the chaos begins! I'd so rather be vacationing! :)

How on earth do you do the clone tool so well? I am such a lost cause, Julie. I know how to use the clone tool, but it always looks like I used it! I think you just have far more patience than I do!

Christy said...

You've got some mad cloning skills! Hope that you're having a wonderful trip, and I hope that J-boy feels better soon. : )

laney said...

The edit is a completely different shot. I kept going back and forth between the two to realize what you did. Awesome!

Also, you vacation shots are amazing. It looks like you're having a great time.

Nice!

Sonora said...

Wow! This is impressive. What a beautiful photo and the editing is awesome. I can't believe you did that on vacation. I'm thinking it would have taken me hours and few naughty words. I love the clone tool, but am still trying to get the hang of it. Love your trip updates!

Tara said...

This is great! I need to learn how to use that tool!

Wow. You're amazing! And funny, too : ) I really, really, need to learn how to use that clone tool. I think I just get overwhelmed with photoshop sometimes. I want to learn more about it, but I just don't want to take the TIME to learn...argh.
