    Love it! I would love to see a video of your editing! Maybe it will help to stop outsourcing images to freelancers or companies as Lavalu and Fixthephoto. This photo enhancement services make a great job but I want to do it by myself. Everything you guys do is so awesome, so creative, and so helpful. You rule!
