Before and After. And then, Happily Ever After!


This handsome couple fell victim to the ever-dangerous "bright flash, close up, in a dark place" syndrome. I really liked this photo of them so I adjusted the levels in Photoshop to bring the color back to their faces. When doing this, it's a good idea to use the Selection Tool or Magic Wand tool to select and copy their teeth onto a separate layer. That way when you play with the levels and darken everything else, you won't darken their teeth. Turns out, people don't like when you do that! I also removed the little smily lady in between their heads. She's precious but was kind of a distraction. When the background is dark like this, removing small objects in the background is a snap! I think the after photo is great and much more accurate to their natural beauty! Fast forward to current day, they are engaged! Congratulations you two!
