After Before Friday-In the truck

Wow, it feels like forever since I wrote an After Before Friday post. Probably because it has been, since it’s only once a month now.

This weeks photo is one I took a couple of weeks ago. We had gone for an evening drive to see what was around. I was waiting to see what the sunset would do, and Al and the dogs were waiting in the truck for me.

This is the photo after edits. (such a handsome guy, and cute dogs too)

This is the before photo.

I cropped, and I cleaned up the distracting stuff. I lightened the photo overall since it was pretty dark with no sun when I shot this. I used the adjustment brush to do some specific spot work, lightening up Al and the dogs. I kinda just played around with this photo until I got what I wanted.

I know that wasn’t super technical in editing details, but I think sometimes you just have to mess around with different editing tools until you get what you like. And learn something too.
