Tutorial: Skin Tone Correction
I made this tutorial simply to answer one of the questions on my Tumblr Ask. It was about how I do skin tones on my photos. Quoting the girl who left me the questions asking about this particular topic, ”the skin tone thing”.
Disclaimer: This tutorial is by far the most useless thing you’ll find in my blog ever. I apologize in advance for the majority of my readers who, I’m quite positive, will think of this tutorial as crap. I certainly do, really. If anyone at all manages to find this helpful in any way.. well, good for you. I think. If you’re sure you want to read on, then go ahead.
Simple skin tone adjustments using adjustment layers and blending modes.
Nice work Vanilla. Now, how about those “trade secrets”… Haha

New Year’s Resolutions
A friend of mine visited my office today and asked what my photographic resolutions were for the new year. His, he said was to make more time for shooting personal projects and to finally get all of his negatives scanned, retouched and stored digitally. A project he has actually stuck with so far, he said.
It got me thinking about my resolutions. Aside from hitting the gym (the same resolution I make every year, which also becomes more necessary every year), my biggest resolution has got to be time management. Not only to stop putting off projects until the last minute, but also to schedule time for my own personal projects.
Chase Jarvis says he actually schedules time for personal projects. What a concept! To actually set aside time to do something fun, for yourself rather than leave it off until “someday” or “when I have more time”. Because, let’s be honest, when have either of those actually come around?
I, like most of you probably, have about 10 projects rolling around in my head that I’ve wanted to do for some time now. So this year I’m challenging myself to not only find time but to make time for at least some of them. I may even find time to actually keep this blog updated.
What are your resolutions for your photography/design/business?
