Here’s my newest edition and some fun I had with her poolside pic:

You wouldn’t know it by looking solely at the “after” pic, but I removed a scratch from my baby-girl’s face and changed her neon green summer suit to a pink one. I also lightened up the pic. It’s subtle, very subtle–but in lies the difference between a well-edited photo and one that, well–shows that the designer is just playing with a new toy.

Another example of (subtle) fun with Photoshop I did for fun can be seen here, I’m #16: http://www.webdesignerdepot.com/2009/04/results-of-self-portrait-design-challenge/

These soft differences can make a huge impact the impression your flyers/marketing materials have as well. I won’t post it here because well, it would defeat the purpose, but I’ve taken 10 years off photos for clients to use on their promotional products. Background changes, color changes, and a number of other photo fixes make the difference in good print collateral.
