- [Instructor] Welcome, I'm Erika Thornes. In this course, we're going to dive deep into the sandbox, or at least into the Photoshop and Lightroom sandbox, and edit photos of kids. I'll share with you how to pick the best photos and make a clean edit. Then we'll go into depth on how to clean up common grime, dirts and scratches from kids romping around in their world, you know, being kids. We'll take care of common issues from runny noses to wearing what they eat with a badge of honor, and dirty nails and stray hair. I'll even show you how to swap in a new head, which really comes in handy when taking group photos with kids.
Let's jump in feet first and make our photos of kids into something not quite so messy, or at least messy with charm, so that way we can treasure these photos for years to come.
