About this Blog:
Turns out that I have been destroying my images in the past. Pixels have been dying and I was basically a mass murderer of pixels. However, I have decided to turn over a new leaf. I believe that pixels and people can live in harmony together. The secret is to use "non-destructive editing." Using Smart filters and Adjustment layers gives you the flexibility to undo what you did and not destroy the original picture. No pixels were harmed in the editing of these pictures.
