I’ve received some inquiries about how I am editing my photos and I’d love nothing more than to share my process with those that are interested. Of course, this was my first time recording a video on my computer so it was quite the experience. And can I be totally honest? I sort of hate the sound of my own voice on video. I feel like it doesn’t even sound like me. Also, I apologize in advance for the background noise. I recorded in complete silence but for some reason my video contains a little white noise. I’m not really sure what it is. All I can think of is that it may have been caused by the microphone. It is also a whoppin’ 30 minutes long. I know what you are thinking. Boy what a snooze fest. I didn’t mean to go on and on and on but let me just tell you how easy it was. Seriously, I had more to say. Thank heavens I chose to leave some things out. I also tend to be a little repetitive, but I wasn’t sure how familiar with Photoshop my audience would be so I wanted to be sure to be thorough. Anyhow, here are few pointers to view the video at its best quality.
