    I really like this picture of us on our honeymoon but it's way too dark obviously. I've tried adjusting the brightness and contrast but since I have to do it so much, I lose most of the clarity and color quality of the picture.

    Can it be fixed or is it a lost cause? I don't have photoshop either, just Gimp and Paint "Tongue

    i am sorry, i don't have any good ideas (i would have suggested changing the contrast or brightness like you have already tried) but maybe someone on the board will see this and can help!  at any rate, i think it's a totally adorable pic! =D

    I think Flickr has this online editing software called "Piknick" that allows you to do some editing there.  You might want to give that a try.  Hope that helps!

    I think I can fix it! I'm a graphic designer - this kinda falls under my job description.  Smile
    Would you be willing to let me give it a try?

    Send me a message and I'll give you my email if you're interested!

    Sorry, I got lost in Flash Forward. I emailed you the original pic fifty--it's big! It looks horrible posted on here since I had to resize it down to 20% for it to load on WB. That's awesome that you're gonna try to fix it for me, I'm so excited to see it if you can make it better.

    Our shirts say "JUST" &amp; "MARRIED".

    Thanks for all the help bees!!

    You did do it! Thanks so much, I think I like the 1st version (thankcolor) in the first email best. We were at the old strip on Frement so part of me really likes the B&W and vintage too. Hmmm...

    Yay!!

    wow those are great editing jobs.  Can the ladies who did that tell me how?  i have photoshop and illustrator and would love to know how to do those types of editing jobs.

     

    I think #1 and #4 look the best personally, but it's really a matter of personal preference I think.  #1 looks a lot like the style of editing our wedding photog does.

    I did all of 'em. :)

     

    I used photoshop, and basically it was a whole lotta different steps adjusting color, contrast, saturation, levels, curves, exposure, blurbly blah blah. I could explain it in detail, but it would be sort of a ghetto tutorial and would take awhile. :p I sort of just do it without thinking about it.

    Maybe over my fall break I'll put one together.

    @eloping: There were points throughout the night where we didn't really think about which side to stand on so there are a few pictures of us where we were "Married Just" LOL

    Thanks again fifty, I owe ya!

    lol. Choreographing that kind of stuff can be a task. :p I'm not sure if we could pull it off.

    No problem. :)
