Halloween party

Yep, I agree with Marian.
You might like to use "selective colors" Gray, white and black, lighten the gray a bit, maybe increase the white also, the black seems o.k. you'll see the image get somewhat more "Punchy"

Bouncing the flash will lower and lessen the "cookie" shadow on the wall. If it's the pop up, well, uhm, to be continued. 

Oh, Marian mentioned selectively coloring the kiss and I got hung up on that. 

Corey - Go to "Enhance" then "Adjust Color" and from that menu select "color variations".  From there select your highlights or midtones and on the slider bar on the left select how much you want to adjust them by and then on the right select lighten or darken.  The top will show you the before and after.  The images are kinda small so a trick I learned was to create a duplicate layer, make the adjustments slightly more than you want and hit "ok" then use the opacity on my layers to give the right amount of adjustment.  This also helps if you blow part of the image out but like the brightness in the rest, erase back the blown part and flatten the image.

Edited to add: These instructions are for Elements, btw.


Oh, I did look into that menu hunting for what Mike was talking about.
I'll play with it somemore.
This photo looks green to me now. Hmm.
Thanks guys,

Corey
