I’ve just spent the last hour of my Friday night playing around with editing pictures and adding different effects. Preferences, anyone? Your decision will affect future pictures you see!
Oh, and a full post will be coming up with this outfit, so in case you’re wondering what I’m wearing, don’t fret! 🙂
Melissa Williams says
ok so you have to share how your editing these but I love the last one to the bottom right.
Write it in Lipstick
Courtney Thomas says
I think I prefer the first one because it seems like it might showcase the actual colors of the garments a bit better than the rest…although that skirt looks a brilliant blue in the third one.

I like the bottom two the best but the bottom left more. It's a nice punch without distorting the true color too much. Also, I think it would be nice if you slightly crossed your ankles in a pose perhaps? I liked the ones in Pants'ed again.
Nelah says
My most favorite photo is the bottom one on the right.
What program do you use, may I ask? I have Photoshop Element 9 but I still don't know much about it.
Samantha says
I really like how the bottom two look 🙂
Stephie Bulaclac says
I like the top left one the best! 🙂
jadeheartz says
I like the one on the bottom left. It shows off the colors of your cloths really well and its more brighter and clean compared to the others.
I also agree that you need to share your editing skills =]
Danielle says
top left!

kyra says
I like the bottom left
Rinny says
I like the first one because the colors look most true-to-life 🙂
Michelle says
I prefer the picture that is closest to your outfit's true colors…which I assume is the top left. I like reading the petite fashion blogs to view items that are currently available, and I do not want to be fooled into thinking an item is something it is not. :p I do love the other pictures…they are very pretty. Perhaps you can find a way to use both?
H Rija says
I like the one on the bottom right!
B_ra says
I like the first one because it seems to be the truest to real life and the bottom left because it is a bit brighter however I think it may become too bright at times
Jess says
The two on the left! The colours are much truer, which is part of the point, but even the textures are altered with photo editing. The bottom right picture looks appealing and draws more attention to you, but your skirt looks almost like leather!
Kirstin Marie says
I like th first one and the third one (these photos are in a single line for me on my mobile). I like the coloring of them, they seam more natural, and the third one nicely emphasizes your garments colors. What editing tool do you use?
hurricanekerrie says
I like the bottom left… I like to see the actual colors of the outfit. It seems a bit brighter and warmer than the top left (which I also like) and there's not much distortion from what I would think is the actual image.
Conny Ramirez says
The editing on both pictures just give it that extra *humph* i wonder if i spelled that right.? The originals are just as beautiful, but i think it's always nice to see how versatile pictures can be. Just like an outfit. 🙂
Thea says
I like the photo on the bottom left. The colors are more enhanced in that pic

Jess W. says
I prefer the one on the top left, it's most true to life and I think it makes more sense to show off the true colors of your outfit. I play with effects from time to time too to mix it up, but in the end I love the more natural version best. =)
Salazar says
I'm a sucker for cross-processing so definitely it's the bottom right for me. Cute outfit!
Yena says
I like bottom left and top left 🙂
I love your blog!
tinymum says
Nice outfit! Inlike the last pic, vintage perfect!
Idontwearjeans says
top left
Aki! says
Please share how you did these!
The first one's a tad dark. The second one looks much too adjusted. The third one is very pretty. The fourth is lovely as well and it has a bit of that vintage tinge.
I really enjoy seeing you develop your blog. I'm learning a lot.
We did have a lot of people come to the Arizona Blogger Meetup. Many more than I expected.
Pollito Moreno says
Either one on the left. I like being able to see the true colors of an outfit. It makes all the difference!
Nav says
you can do this in a program called Picnik.
Irisinspired says
I like the 3rd one. It seems enhanced just enough to bring out the darker colors, like you hair and your skirt, without being too yellowed like the second and fourth option. Isn't editing fun? It's amazing how fast you get sucked in and the options are endless!
eclecticflair says
my fave is the first one bc it seems to show the true colors and what the outfit would look like in person BUT I think it would be fun if you did the others too every once in a little while to spice up the photos…specially the second one. 😀

Amy Z. says
Uh oh, your top left picture isn't showing up for me. Out of the other 3, I love the top right and the bottom left, but I think the bottom left more just because it doesn't distort the colors as much.
Morgan V.B. says
They all are so pretty Kileen! My fave would be number 3. I like how you just altered the exposure?? I really have no idea what it is called but it looks great!
Kileen says
picture fixed! sorry about that! 🙂
Kileen says
I changed just about everything with the picture actually: exposure, color
curves, levels… you name it. 🙂
oomph. says
bottom left 🙂

Leena1021 says
i think for the purpose of this fashion blog, #3 (bottom left) is the best. it has the perfect amount of sharpness and color. you're becoming a pro at this! since we're on the topic of pictures, do you mind sharing what you shot this in (ie. fstop, shutter speed, iso, etc.)? 🙂
Moniquezuman says
I like the bottom left one!

Corrie Feld says
I like the bottom left. Looks like a standard picture, but the colors are punched up a bit.

Cee says
The top left is too blurry, top right distorts the colors too much. Bottom left is my favorite! Shows all the colors to its full advantage. Bottom right could work with certain outfits because it has a vintage feel, but doesn't seem quite right for this one.
chern says
I just LOVE the tone in the top right photo! And you can see the details in your outfit so much better!
Cecilia Oviedo says
I don't mind the photoshop effects at all! Think I like the sepio one a lot! Although I like to see colors of your outfits that always happen to be so colorful and cute! Navy and grey look so chic and preppy, that skirt is so unique!

Really Petite says
I like the bottom left but in all honestly- they are all pretty freaking cool! 😀
Jessy says
Whichever one shows the true colour… which I assume is the 3rd one?! 😛 It looks more natural
Beartea says
bottom left – shoes the real colors of your outfit. bottom right is kinda cool too though.
Salazar says
I'm a sucker for cross-processing so definitely it's the bottom right for me. Cute outfit!
Angeline says
I like the bottom left photo. I generally prefer no effect on photos, but it wouldn't keep me from reading your blog (you've already got me hooked). I think a lot of filters and effects really warp the color and make it more difficult to see the outfit in all its beauty.
Kileen says
that's what i ended up deciding too. no filters or effects, just the
natural look of the clothes. thanks for the feedback! 🙂
Cel says
I particularly like the bottom left one, but top right is also good!
AUBS says
i wonder if anyone picked the upper left hand corner pic.
Kileen says
a few did. but most people who picked the bottom left one did so because
they thought it looked the most natural and showed the colors better. and
while that filter worked ok for this picture, it actually is horrible on a
large majority of pictures… so in the end, i think i might end up using
filters for special occasion posts where that kind of effect might work out
better, but i don't think it's an everyday filter. 🙂
kelsey williams says
I like the top left one, for outfit photos, anyway. I feel like the colors are most true in that one.
Kileen says
Thanks! I ended up going with that one. 🙂

Marie_McGrath says
They are all wonderful, but I think I like the third one best (left bottom corner).
Kileen says
this is all done through Lightroom and Photoshop. 🙂
Colleen McCloskey says
bottom left
top left is 2nd
(this is a late response so you probably already decided.)
Kileen says
Nope, thanks for the response! I've been using a slight variation of the bottom left since people liked that one so much! Thanks!! 🙂
