Photoshop is here!

Sorry that it has been awhile since I've posted anything, things have been a bit harried around here lately. I definitely know that I would not be good at running a Bed and Breakfast after how exhausting it was having eight extra adults in our 3 bedroom house. Fortunately there were various lengths of overlap with our different guests. We were so glad to have all of you visit to watch Wil run the Honolulu marathon and celebrate Christmas with us. But we're looking forward to getting back into our normal routine as much as possible before Wil deploys.

Anyway, on to the reason for my post, we finally got our Photoshop software - after much arguing with Dell, which sent us the wrong item with our Laptop order - and here is my first attempt at using it.

Wil looks good in this photo but Abigail's hair is in her face

Here Abigail looks better but Wil isn't smiling

So I made a composite of the two images - and it turned out pretty well. The skin tones in the two pictures are slightly different so I might do some more tweaking to it. I think it will be my mission while Wil is gone to learn how to use this software.
Oh and I almost forgot, Merry Christmas! This Hawaii weather is royally screwing me up - it doesn't even seem like Christmas when it's 80 degrees out. (And no, I'm not trying to rub it in, Michigan people, Wil and I really do miss the snow.)
