For Work . . . Photo bombs, signage, porta potties, or uncooperative group shots, may be amusing—but not on your company brochure or website.

Do you need photographs that showcase your product with integrity?

Selling a home in the winter months can be tricky. Potential buyers might not visualize the summer “skies of blue and clouds of white.”

Magically restore “trees of green . . . red roses too,” to a wonderful world of quick sales.

• Need a fire in the hearth? • Want to lighten up a room? • Remove telltale vacuum cleaner marks? • Envision a different color of paint?

Whether a slight touch up or extreme makeover, you want to present your products in—literally—the best light, and give them some digital pizazz. Photoshop can make every day a good hair day!

For Play . . . The camera doesn’t lie, but it often fails to capture the true beauty of its subjects. Poor lighting orcluttered backgrounds can take away from lovely memories of a cherished person, place, or event.

• Need to restore an old faded photograph? • Colorize a black and white?• Is there an amature photo that would be SO perfect, if only it wasn’t so . . . amature?

Let your subjects shine in the true essence of the moment, and transform a “Facebook-worthy” photo into one that begs for a frame.

Check out the following images because . . . who doesn’t love Before & After???
