What’s the difference between an okay photograph and one that makes you want to keep looking at it for hours?
In my experience, I’d have to say camera settings, proper exposure, focus, and perspective. To me, the least important contributing factor is the subject. When you can make even the most mundane look exciting, fresh, and appealing than you my friend have just crossed over from being a so so photographer to an exceptional one!
I had this idea for a word search photo frame. Initially my design contained the child’s name which I thought was kind of cool. Then I thought it would be a little more difficult to customize with a child’s name especially for those that are unfamiliar with their text and format tools/layers/etc. in Photoshop and Elements. With that said, I decided on this ‘Be ONE in a Million’ theme!
With all my templates, this is a .psd file that can be opened in Photoshop or PSE. It is an 8 x 10 customizable photo template and is very easy to use. Once open, find the ‘Place Photo Here’ layer (highlighted in RED) and make sure it is selected with your mouse. Now go to File / Place. This will allow you to choose an image from your computer files. Once you have placed your photo in the square, you may adjust its size to fit the frame.
I’ve been using a pretty awesome action from Paint the Moon to brighten eyes in my photos but have since found a great little tutorial online to create the effect myself. Of course, wouldn’t you know, I can’t find it. I could have sworn that I pinned it to a board on my Pinterest page but apparently not so much. Thinking back, I don’t think I pinned it because it was so easy for me to remember. If I’d a known I was going to do a post on it, I would have saved it especially so that I could give credit.
