Mad Photo Editing Skills

So. I did this shoot a few weeks ago, and I was asked if I could remove a double chin. I was like... holy cow, I don't think so! So I took the pictures and I edited them and they're all pretty and lovely... and when I handed over the finished product--hours of work--she still had a double chin. :o( And I had no idea how to fix that.

Then I was flipping through the pages of Popular Photography and found this cool editing software. Totally not for chins, by the way, but for skin blemishes, acne, etc. so I bought it tonight, and I was playing around with some of the portraits I've done over the last few months, and they came out AMAZING! I thought to myself, "I totally want to post something showing how incredible this software is! But I don't want to make anyone feel bad by using their portrait as a result." Soooo... what was my brilliant plan? Since I have zero self-consciousness (I mean, really, I told the pee story at church, right?) I figured I'd use one of me. There's a photo that I had as my main whatever thing a while back, and I wasn't happy with the angle of my head... it made it look like my chin and neck were one... So gross.

Anyway, so I fixed that all up and then thought... "Hmm, self, you're pretty bad a** at photo editing, why don't you give fixing that puppy a whirl?" SO, I did. And I'm amazing. Below, view the incredible changes between the two portraits. And then tell me how much you want to be me, because I'm sitting at home (alone) on a Friday night editing photos. (Yeah, yeah, I know I was invited eight different places, but it was a long week, okay?)
