Let's face it, photos do not always turn out as they're supposed to. Luckily, advances in digital processing and editing have made it possible to change less than perfect photos into dazzling snapshots of life.

Lasting Impressions' photo edits are not like conventional filters and effects. The edits we implement are targeted to specific areas of the photo, depending upon what needs to be fixed. Conventional filters and effects do not allow for this; they are applied to the image as a whole. The targeted approach ends with an overall better result. Enhance the good parts, change the bad parts, and end with a great photo!

"A picture is worth a thousand words," as someone very wise once said. In this example, we start with an photo taken under studio conditions. The photo itself is okay, except the lighting has washed out many of the colors and details of the model. In the edited photo, the colors have been brought back in full force. The reds in the hair are now red again,the skin isn't ghost white, and the overall lighting has been brought down in intensity to show subtle tones and shades.

The model has also been given a full digital makeover. Freckles have been removed to show perfect skin. Makeup has been applied to the eyes and lips as well. With the hair, adding color wasn't the only fix. Can you spot it? The strong highlights on the peaks of the hair destroyed the hair's texture in those areas. That has been hand painted back in to simulate and enhance the hair's texture. How's that for a lasting impression?
