How to.... by maggiemae

How to....

take 20 years off without photoshop or lightroom! Fossicking around with a selfie, I tried this:
In Ribbet I chose 'home' and there was a feature, "21st Century Impressionism" From there in basic edits, there was an option "pro- editor'. Selecting this then "Pixie Express" followed by 'effect'. From there I think I chose 'default"
Anyway it came out rather pleasing.

Three good things;
1. The camera still works after falling from the tripod taking this photo!
2. Another stepdaughter visit but she's on a diet.
3. Everyone's different!
Oh nicely done. Great light image and cool processing. Thanks for sharing the tips!

Nice selfie, Maggiemae. I like your hair.
September 22nd, 2014  
Very pleasing Maggiemae.....shorter hair is nice ...you made a great job of the cutting! I think all us women will love this editing.....there is always something we don't like however young we are! You are beautiful Maggiemae!!
September 22nd, 2014  
you look great ! Your post processing worked very well, like the soft colors and the light.
What is a weird diet ? I think all diet are weird ;)

@cocobella Good words, Corinne - nice to be normal!

@maggiemae what wrinkles?
September 22nd, 2014  
Wonderful selfie! Love the light! I often go for a high key low when doing selfies... it makes ones skin look so good.
September 22nd, 2014

your three things are always interesting to see.
nice to see you in this photo.

Love the selfie and it's rejuvenating effect. Now the challenge is how to make it permanent- let me know if you find the secret!
September 23rd, 2014  
Well this is a great look. Will have to give it a go! I love the way it's turned out and thank goodness camera ok after fall.
September 23rd, 2014  
@ccb I could print it out, cut it out, then place it in front of my face?
September 23rd, 2014

Lovely Maggie....
September 23rd, 2014  
great selfie
September 24th, 2014  
@maggiemae - I never would have guessed in a million years! You have a very young face Maggie!
September 24th, 2014  
@skipt07 I do, Skip when the camera and the processing gets it right but when I want, it can look absolutely awful!
September 24th, 2014  
I really like this shot and your processing, Maggiemae. You definitely took 20 years off your age and made your hair look amazing. So glad your camera is ok after its fall. FAV
September 24th, 2014  
Beautiful processing which places the emphasis on those lovely eyes.
Love the profile pic you took it from too. Fav for this and for the profile pic version. You have kept the character in your face and that's lovely.
September 24th, 2014  
Another nice selfie! Great job with the processing too!
September 25th, 2014  
Super selfie - thanks for the info on how to do too. Now I just need a processing tool that will take the kilos off. :)
September 25th, 2014  
@snaphappi Maybe we should just be grateful for what we have - health and friends?
September 25th, 2014  
Fabulous selfie!
