My bloggy friend Laura over at Dolce Pics posts a photograph every Tuesday and invites readers to edit a reader submitted photograph.  I enjoy doing this because it gives me a chance to have some photos with photographs I did not take.  Here is the original image:

When I saw this girl with the umbrella, I quickly downloaded the image to Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 2.  I have been taking a class online to learn how to use Lightroom and this photo screamed “Aged Photo” preset to me.  But before I did that I punched up the color.  I also decided to crop the photograph as well to remove most of the background distractions.  And then as I brought this image into Windows Blog Writer, I placed the photograph in a Polaroid frame as a finishing touch.
