"Alice and her Rabbit" - 9/17/10 - 4:49 PM - Anime Weekend Atlanta Con, Atlanta, Georgia - f/3.1 - 1/15 - Nikon Coolpix S203

The first thing I did in photoshop was to use quick selection to select the circle pattern on the carpet. Then I inversed the selection and filled it in white in a new layer. Then I used quick select to select Alice and the White Rabbit, refined the edges and pasted them into a new layer. I then adjusted the levels, hue/saturation, brightness/contrast, added white space above the rabbit's ears and adjusted the color balance.

First, I did used quick selection to select my Mom. After that, I refined the edges, then copied the selection on to a new layer. Below that layer, I put a black color fill on a separate layer. I then adjusted the levels and brightness/contrast. Then I cropped the image to reposition my Mom.
