Donna over at Double Happiness whipped this ‘fix-it Friday’ for my overexposed beach pix…
Thanks, girlfriend!! I love it!
Okay, now I'm embarrassed. 🙂
I'm glad you liked it! I just hate to see a great photo go to waste. At least you kept yours…. I usually delete them if I don't think I have time to fix 'em.
Fixing your photo was fun though. I wish every problem in life could be so easily fixed!

Wow, that looks great! That's a beautiful beach!
I didn't know you could do that! Wow, I am so tech challenged. Great pictures.
Umm… Donna? How did you DO that? It's gorgeous. And I wanna copy. Please, please – tutorial needed.
Thanks, everyone!
Really, it's not that hard to fix most photos. I don't use photoshop but I'm sure it's even easier if you do! I use Paintshop Pro and I usually fix overexposed photos by tweaking the contrast and saturation. But when there's a person in the photo, it's important to work in layers so you can exclude the skin tones from being part of some of the adjustments. If you don't do this, you'll have bright blue ocean water and golden sand but also ORANGE fleshtones!
In a nutshell, I make two copies of the photo and I fix the people first. Then I fix the background on the second copy then layer one on top of the other and 'erase' the parts of the top layer where I want the bottom layer to peek through. It might sound hard but it's pretty easy.
You just have to play around and see what looks best.
