This Time, a Photo of Stephanie That Doesn't Suck

Oy, what an awful picture that last one was. If you look at it, especially the background, you can see that it's really "noisy" (grainy). That's because I didn't use a flash (using the flash introduces problems of its own), and my new camera is supposed to have better low light/no flash performance (I'm still adjusting to it).

Also, Stephanie looks... orange.

Blogger Sepintx sent me a link to a helpful tutorial that the AOL Photo Editors did in their blog on Photo Tips: Color Correction. It assumes you have Photoshop. I do, but I'm pretty basic, and I overrely on certain tools to fix problems.

I didn't apply everything they suggest (so the photo is still a little dark), and the image on the laptop screen looks terrible (since it's a picture of a bad picture on a laptop screen), but it's a better photo than the one before, and I think the composition is kind of amusing:

Thanks -- Joe
