just a click.

Check out this super nifty clay shop Clayations or if you’re looking for swimwear, click here! Both are owned by Mica :D

In other news… I suddenly missed working on graphics and such due to the fact that my current work focuses more on the technical side of things so I decided to install Adobe Lightroom and give it a try:

That’s a picture of me and my dad when I was 2 years and 11 months. I look like a boy! A cute one at that. Haha :D Happy father’s day to your dads!!!

The top photo’s the original one and below it is the post-processed image. Yes, I managed to produce that kind of effect with just a click using Adobe Lightroom. Ahhh, love at first sight with Lightroom! ;)

Questions
What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
Are you close with your dad?

What software do you use to edit your photos? microsoft photo editor. lame isn’t it? just for cropping and minor color tweaking
Have you tried Lightroom? no, but i tried piccassa :p
Are you close with your dad? super

chinkydoodle on June 19, 2011

Definitely! Adobe Lightroom’s the bomb! I love the effects. :D Unfortunately, my lightroom’s gone and I don’t have any installer for it now. So, im stuck with adobe 7.0 ot’s pretty much an old version already but im used to it, so i’m fine with it. haha!

Yes, I’m also close to my dad! We usually talk about new techs, economic issues and stuff. I get to learn from him about more life matters that concern society. :D happy father’s day to your dad! :D

Sandra on June 19, 2011

That’s a cute photo. I love what you did with it!

I use Paint Shop Pro. I’ve never used Lightroom. I am close to my dad.

Nic on June 19, 2011

YOU ARE SOOO CUTE!! :D hahaha Happy father’s day to your dad! :D

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
I use Photoshop and yes, I do use lightroom xD

Are you close with your dad?
Used to. haha :D

Mia on June 19, 2011

Will try the Lightroom! I’ve used Photoshop only! Hoho.
I was closer with my father when I was younger. Though he’s always just lambing away! :)

Keiyt on June 19, 2011

hahaha mukha ka ngang lalake ate gel hehe
I am using Lightroom now ad it’s so awesome. Are you using Presets?

Mei on June 19, 2011

nice photo kawaii ne ~
Happy Father’s day to your dad ^ ^

Questions
What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom? Adobe / light room is cool !

Are you close with your dad?def YES!!

Yesha on June 19, 2011

Have not tried Lightroom personally myself but I edit all my photos in Photoshop. The same effect is achievable with some “downloadable actions”. :)

Dayna on June 19, 2011

I use the ever famous adobe Photoshop. :P I haven’t tried Lightroom yet though.
And, am I close to my dad? Yes I am! :) hahah!

Jen on June 19, 2011

Lol they used to cut my hair real short too when I was younger. The only reason I could think of them doing that is coz it’s hot in the Philippines & less drying time for hair.

As for Lightroom, I never gave it much thought, but I do use Photoshop for just about most things. And no, I’m not really that close to my dad. We acknowledge each other, but that’s about it.

And that Pucca game you commented on isn’t for Facebook. I’m guessing they used to have a FB app, but it’s actually for iPad, iPhone, and iPod touch ^^;

kressa on June 19, 2011

Gel! Ang pogi! Wahaha! I guess were one of those kids that were forced by their moms to have a short haircut. I had short/boy haircut when I was a kid and I showed it to my friends/teammates in college and they all said I look like Billy Joe Crawford when we we’re both young :P

I love the effect. Pacopy ng Adobe Lightroom :P For simple editing, I just use Windows Picture Manager pero kapag gusto ko ng certain effect I use Adobe Photoshop.

Growing up I was close to my dad, you can say that I was a daddy’s girl before. Pero now I’m much closer to my mom.

Lei on June 19, 2011

Nice effect! Lol. I remember having a “boy-cut” hair din when I was young. What were our parents thinking exactly? D: Lol kidding!

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
- Photoshop. If I feel lazy, I use Photoscape. Hihi. Though my boss told me to try lightroom. :)

Are you close with your dad?
- YES! :)

Tricia on June 19, 2011

OMG DI MO KAMUKHA YUNG BABY YOU! Hahahaha. Cute mo laaang. Goshh. I can see the resemblance :)

Dianne on June 19, 2011

I know. I hate those people who don’t know how to keep secrets. :(

__________

Mica’s shops sound good! I’ll check ‘em out later on. Especially when I’m in need of swimwear. ;)

OMG. You and your father look so cute together. XD And I also love the processed version! Where’d you get Adobe Lightroom? :)

Jea on June 19, 2011

I edit my photos with PaintShopPro :) Never tried lightroom. Or..hmm..perhaps I’ve tried it once..yup. Might end up buying a professional one later on but right now PSP is enough for me.

Yes I am very close with my dad. I’m such a daddy’s girl. So much so that his taste in music and influenced me.. blues, old guitar rock music etc. We sometimes even go to concerts together :D ! He’s so much like me..or, I’m so much like him. My mom’s different. But I get along with both very well.

Shiri on June 19, 2011

that’s a really cute picture of you and your dad!
i’m not really fond of editing pictures.. but when i do, i just simply use photoshop… hehe

my dad and i are quite close.. in fact, i also posted a twitpic of us when i was a child… and i also made it my fb profile pic! i miss him… he’s working kc…
happy father’s day to your dad!! ^^

jessa on June 19, 2011

Yeah, two classes cost that much & that’s instate, it’s going to be ridiculously expensive when I go out of state, taking six or seven classes. I’m going to paying student loans until I’m seventy d: Hopefully I can get in & out of law school, after I get my masters & land a job so I can pay for it all, but I’m getting ahead of myself.

Everything I tend to feel usually just comes & goes, but it always comes back. That’s why it’s just hard not really having that resolution or closure, because I never feel accomplished, it always comes back.

I could never get myself into making graphics. I just enjoy coding my layouts, without any real images I’ve edited & blogging. I feel like I’m one of so few web owners that hates true graphic design, lmao.

Kaitlin on June 20, 2011

oh cute! yea, you defo don’t look like your baby version piccie. :) …and no I am not close to my dad so I don’t really celebrate Father’s day. I actually use photoshop …CS2 muahahah yea… way behind but I’m so happy and contented with it na..so I never upgraded…lulz. Other picture editing software just the iphone apps. :)

Angel on June 20, 2011

I love the pic of you and your Dad!! So cute! To answer your questions, yes I am still very close with my Dad. I just wrote a blog about him, too, haha. And I usually just new PSCS, I haven’t tried Lightroom yet, but the photo here looks amazing!

Christine on June 20, 2011

That clay site is super cute…I love browsing through crafts like that.

I’ve never heard of lightroom. I usually just stick with good ol’ Photoshop. I love working with the coloring on images, so I usually like messing with all the settings myself. But I do make actions of the good ones so I can use them again with a single click.

The picture is adorable!

Gabi on June 20, 2011

Whoa! You do look a bit like a boy. I didn’t want to say anything because I didn’t know if it was you or not but happy to know you think the same way. XD You were cute! When did you start growing out your longer hair?

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
I don’t use anything to edit photos because they rarely need to be edited. I’ll use Photoshop to alter brightness every now and then though.

Are you close with your dad?
Not really… I’m actually quite distant from him. He wasn’t around growing up since him and my mom separated so I only saw him once a year at best.

Kelsey on June 20, 2011

You did look like a boy, but a really cute one at that, yes. :D Ahhh, childhood memories are the best things in life. Happy Father’s Day to your father as well! :) I didn’t get to celebrate it with my father, but how about you?

Adobe Lightroom looks good to me! I’ll try it out in a while.

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
Usually, when I’m lazy, I’ll use Picnik or Splashup, but when I’m not, I usually use Photoshop. Nope, but as I stated, I’ll try it out in a while. :)

Are you close with your dad?
Yes! :D In fact, I can say that if he doesn’t go overseas too often, I’ll be closer to him than my mom! :P

Dorine on June 20, 2011

happy fathers day to your dad :)

ishie on June 20, 2011

if im lazy to use photoshop and dont have that time I use Lightroom and I’ve been using it for 2 yrs now.

scart on June 20, 2011

BTW, happy father’s day to your dad!

scart on June 20, 2011

aww cute photo! happy father’s day to your dad, gel!

ava on June 20, 2011

Happy father’s day to your dad. :)

I only use lightroom if I have to process a lot of photos really quick, but if I’m not in a hurry, I still prefer the control that I have with photoshop :) But I still love lightroom to bits

Mel on June 20, 2011

Ang cute mo, Gel! Happy father’s day sa dad mo. :)

Ano ba yang lightroom na yan? Heehee! May nagpapa-dl sakin niyan e. Try ko raw. :)

Ariane on June 20, 2011

Photoshop CS3 nerd here. I have never tried Lightroom, I think I shall give it a try.
I am very close to my Dad. Father’s Day is not till later in the year here in Australia.

Sage on June 20, 2011

I usually only go with Photoshop as far as my photo editing/manip and graphic work is concerned but I have Lightroom din. Yun nga lang I don’t use it as much and I still go to Photoshop. :) ) Saka nagtataka ako bakit ang liit liit ng filesize ng Lightroom sa Mac, minsan naiisip ko di siya legit software or something. Pero when I tried it naman everything works.

Labo lang ng comment ko.

Mmm di naman ako masyadong close sa kanya or to my mom, pero hindi naman yung tipo na rebel girl ako sa kanila. I’m a good girl yo! Hahaha. Belated happy dad’s day to your family and to your dad!

Anna on June 20, 2011

I love the effects! :D Woo you’re good with editing photos. I, on the other hand, have no talent whatsoever in graphic editing. Boo!

Happy Father’s Day! Yay!

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
= I mostly play with Paint Shop Pro, but I can’t say I’m good with it.

Are you close with your dad?
= Not really. Though when it comes to sharing secrets, I’m more comfortable sharing it with dad than with my mom. Heheh.

Kitty on June 20, 2011

What software do you use to edit your photos?
I use GIMP. As a high school student who has no intention of going professional, it’s the best thing next to sliced bread!

Have you tried Lightroom?
No, I have not. I might have to now, seeing your ONE CLICK result. One click, I envy you!

Are you close with your dad?
I’m such a daddy’s girl, it isn’t even funny.

Hello! My name’s Edel, very nice to meet you. ^^ You’re really good at editing photos. I’m still a newbie when it comes to everything graphic related. Hence why I’m starting small with my icons! Anyway, take care!

Edel on June 21, 2011

Aww… that’s a cute photo! I use Lightroom and like it a lot. I usually start my photos in Lightroom and then sometimes finish them in Photoshop for spot editing.

I’m pretty close to both of my parents. I moved out years ago, but I still get dinner with them every couple of weeks :)

Cat on June 21, 2011

I don’t mean to be rude by agreeing with you or anything, but yes – you do look like a boy! Haha.

What software do you use to edit your photos? I use PhotoFiltre.
Have you tried Lightroom? Nope. I wish I had Adobe Photoshop again; it got lost. :(
Are you close with your dad? Yeah, but I don’t live with him anymore… I need to remember to send him his Father’s Day card! Haha. I forgot to today. :(

Liz on June 21, 2011

Can’t access Mica’s website :-/
Anyway, happy father’s day to your dad!
About Adobe lightroom, well I haven’t tried it yet but I’ve heard a lot about it.

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
~ Adobe CS3!
Are you close with your dad?
~ Not so much :(

Happi on June 21, 2011

I’m pretty close with my dad. And the photo editor I use is Pixenate :)

Grysh on June 21, 2011

awwh that’s a really cute picture of you and your dad!! (: i would say i’m close to my dad too, and i think i’m lucky since i know a lot of people have a bad relationship with their parents.

i use photoshop when i edit my photos, and sometimes paint shop pro, but i’ve never tried lightroom before, i’ve just heard about it.

thank you! the exam didn’t go too well, but i survived and i learned how i’m not going to prepare for the exams in the future.

ida on June 21, 2011

I haven’t tried Lightroom yet. Although I’ve been hearing positive feedbacks. I must try it one time :D i’m using photoshop.

About my dad, we’re not that close since he stays here for about two months lang a year then he leaves to work abroad. So, yeah. But we have good times when he’s here.

Rachelle on June 21, 2011

hmm i haven’t used lightroom, but my dad has it in his laptop.. and he barely uses it as well… lol but I’ve heard that it’s great for photography edits…
for me, I’m just gonna stick to photoshop cs5 :)

happy father’s day to your dad! belated! :D

Well, for me, our closeness is 50/50. Because if I say I’m close to him, then I would have those silly moments with him and I can actually talk to him… but no, I can’t say we’re close. The same goes for my mom as well…

Phyllz on June 22, 2011

I’ve never tried adobe lightroom before. I mostly rely on photoshop and some lovely actions to pull off the coloring I desire. It’s a longer process, but it works. :)

That picture is adorable, but the way. :)
I am close with my dad. Yay! Haha. But seriously, I do have a great relationship with my father. We’ve always been really close. I’m officially a daddy’s girl. haha. :)


Thank you! :)
Yepp, I’m a twin. But I have a twin brother, which means we are quite fraternal. Not in the least identical, considering that I’m a girl. But it’s a unique fact about me. :)


I love your site! It’s so pretty! :D

Karlee on June 22, 2011

I haven’t been doing too much editing recently either. We’re going to be using GIMP for computer class this term though, and I’m excited for that!

I usually use Photoshop, but, recently, I’ve been fiddling with GIMP. I’ve never tried Lightroom though.

I’m not particularly close to my dad, but I do think we have a pretty healthy father-daughter relationship, so it’s all good!

Clarisse on June 22, 2011

Really? Just a click? Wow thats cool! :D I haven’t tried Adobe Lightroom. I guess I should XD

Chiui on June 23, 2011

Hey!

Aww :) That’s such a cute picture :) happy fathers day :) I wrapped an empty box of chocolates and gave it to my dad :) he really liked it, or so he pretended :P I gave him the box full of chocolates afterwards :) hehe

No, no – I live in Kenya. I’ve always lived here, and have studied here till High School. We strangely enough, have some of the best schools around here! but for university, I’m actually going to Toronto in Canada :) the college course I’m taking is just a summer course to keep me busy :) lol

i had to use a Windows PC a few nights ago. It was so weird and foreign to me! bahaha!

Aashni on June 24, 2011

Sorry, your questions:

1. I use photoshop.. and I haven’t really ever tried Lightroom before, but i’ll definitely see if they have a Mac version.

2. Yes! very close – people say i’m an exact copy of him in our habits, the way we think and act etc. :)

Aashni on June 24, 2011

i heard good reviews about lightroom. i wish i could have a copy on my laptop to try it… kaso wala naman akong mapagkukuhanan. can i download it for free?

What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
- i used cs5 but i really do not use its FULL POTENTIAL. looooooooool. not yet.. i wish to try it someday. :) )

Are you close with your dad?
- yes. super close. :)

Tine on June 24, 2011

Never really had a chance to experiment with Adobe Lightroom,. I installed it in my laptop (the trial program), I was planning to try it out, I got busy.. and poof, my laptop crashed bigtime. :s Can’t even recover the files. Anywaaaaay, I love both the before and after photos!:) You really do look like a boy, Ate Gel. Hehehe. Cutie!

What software do you use to edit your photos?
-Adobe Photoshop CS3
Have you tried Lightroom?
-Not really. :/
Are you close with your dad?
-Uhuh! :D

sheidz on June 25, 2011

Arence GEcale on June 25, 2011

missy s on June 25, 2011

Dhadha on June 26, 2011

Gloria on June 26, 2011

What software do you use to edit your photos? photoscrape :)
Have you tried Lightroom? nope, but i’ll try it soon.
Are you close with your dad? yes yes yes

TORY on June 26, 2011

Hello there! First of, I wanted to say that your layout looks super cute!! I’m kind of attracted to it right now! I had tried using Lightroom a couple of years ago, at first, the results were really satisfying and all but since I already did have cs3 at that time, and I thought that what lightroom can do’s also what my cs3 can so I sadly, deleted lightroom.sad part is that, I haven’t thoroughly explored lightroom!
yeah, my dad and I are really close. :) I hop you spent the Father’s day well with yoy dad though it’s really late.

Danielle C. on June 26, 2011

nice post.. I thought she/he is your son..hehe jowk,, anyways belated hapi fathers day

Jerminix on June 26, 2011

Wow the photo looks great! Happy father’s day to your dad! And yeah you really look like a boy, but still, you look cute! :)
What software do you use to edit your photos? Have you tried Lightroom?
I use CS5 and Gimp. And no I haven’t tried lightroom, but after seeing your post, I’m gonna try it!
Are you close with your dad?
Yes we are :)

Cham on June 26, 2011

geezz. di mo kamuka sis! I must agree, mukang baby boy. :P but now, stunning lady na. ^^

ohlockedheart on June 26, 2011

You’re so cute! I didn’t know that you were a handsome little boy! LOL! Happy Father’s Day to all those who qualify! =)
