Lesson three of camera school is about fixing photos. Shimelle has some great examples of her photo fixes here.
I can't afford Photoshop cuz I have to buy diapers (and food. Hoover Dam). However, I have found a GREAT free photo editing program called GIMP. You can download it here.
Picnik is another fantastic resource for photo editing. There are some amazing preset effects. I love the Vignette and Lomo. Create a FREE account here.
Okay, now for the pictures. I used this as an opportunity to do a mini photo shoot with munchkin and his still-too big Converse. But they are SO CUTE. I couldn't help myself.
Shimelle recommends three fixes for photos that are thisclose to being amazing.
1. Crop and desaturate (i.e. turn it black and white). I used Picnik.

And le fix:
Which one do you like better? I think the black and white helps a lot since the colors are kinda clashy. And my Converse are extremely dirty ...
2. Auto Color Correct in Picnik

And le fix:
This was subtle change, but I like the fixed photo better.

And le fix:
I LOVE it.
Ah, the power of editing! Turning almost awesome photos into awesome photos at the push of a button!
