Before and After - Shawn

I have been meddling with photo shop and trying to learn new techniques when it comes to processing my photos. I have never used photoshop before and so this is completely new territory to me.

I use lightroom which is a more "user-friendly" off-shoot of photoshop (both are Adobe). Photoshop has been great because it gives you more control over the picture and allows you to do more to professionally retouch. I plan on doing some more before and afters.

I have gleaned all of this knowledge from Jelani Memory (jelanimemory.blogspot.com). He has put together some pretty awesome tutorials that go over the basics of photo retouching and processing. They are easy to understand and are very helpful! This is the result of me playing/pausing a nine minute video into twenty minutes.

Here's a before and after of a photo that is mainly focused on fixing blemishes/smoothing out the skin:

Thanks to my awesome Hubbins, Shawn, for letting me show off the before and after shots. Sign of a real man!
