Before and After

I have spent almost 2 months with my cam now. I like it alot, in fact I have tried to bring it along wherever i go. By now, i have captured more than 1000 photos (yeah, most of them belong to the recycle bin). Well, some are worth recueing. I have installed the latest Photoshop and i manage to play with it a little. The objective is to enhance the quality of the images, not to re-create it to look professional. I still wish to take amazing picture without much alteration, thats my ultimate goal. Below are some of the images i 'photoshop' it to look nicer, and therefore giving them a richer finishing. I only used the basic tools like adjustment of exposure, color balance, hue/saturation. I manage to save some of the photos due to over exposure, i realised that the gamma correction helps alot in solving this problem.
P4 : Before (the pic was too over expose and i think i'm able to do something with it)P4 : After (I have adjusted the gamma correction, and i find it handy with over-exposed pics.)

P3 : Before (i feel like the pillow in the back ground a bit distract the subject)

P3 : After (I grayscaled the background to make the subject stand out)


P2: Before (I feel that the picture would be nicher if i give it a more richer color)P2 : After (I have the color balance adjustment to give the subject more 'red', and the sky more 'blue')

P1 : Before (As i have mentioned it in the previous post, the pic was over-expose during the shooting time)

P1 : After (I finally rescued the photo by using the exposure tool, i have adjusted the gamme correction also)
