This is a short tutorial on how to get the most out of your photographs, by editing them in Photoshop. However, please note that a lot of my photographs aren't edited, it is personal opinion if you want to edit them or not.
You can be as funky and creative as you like in Photoshop. I use Photoshop CS2 mostly.

In a few of the smaller photographs here in this Tutorial, I have used a soft Glitter from ~Mifti-Stock .

You can find other great resources here in "my favourites" .

I find a lot of incredible resources and stock (including textures) here in *DA-Vintage-Club 's favourites: "Becoming Vintage".

The last photo in the tutorial is from this series: "Autumn Wonderland".
The rainbow flower at the top can be found here: "Those were the days...."

Keep a look out for more tutorials Have fun !

Just remember; Editing photos is a personal choice. Not all photos need to be edited!
