Photographing people, especially children, can be a challenge. It helps if you can make them smile and laugh a bit as you shoot as you'll capture some friendly smiles!
Tips to help you out here - smile yourself, ask before you take any photos, for children - act the clown a little, and finally - show them the results on your camera screen (they love that!)
The result is below:
Photoshop Elements tip
This month's tip is to sharpen your photos!When you have finished editing your photos the last thing you should do before saving them is sharpen them. This makes photos stand out just a little more, and it's really easy to do.
- Once you have finished editing, make sure your image is in one layer - go to 'Layer' and choose 'Flatten layers'
- Then go to 'Enhance' and click on 'Unsharp mask…'
- The dialog box that opens gives you a few options. The ones I go for are:
- 'Amount' - 100%
- 'Radius' - 1.0
- 'Threshold' - 0
