Description Fullview please!

I wanted to do a tutorial to show how I edit photos to get a blurred background, especially for photos taken with digital camera. So I dug up an old photo to use, and before I can get to the part on how to edit photos to get a blurred background, I had to do a quick/basic editing of the photo, so I figured I might as well make it a tutorial as well. Hence this became "Part 1". None of this is anything new, and I learnt most of it from other tutorials, then by tinkering around with the settings. Also, I use this method to edit almost any photograph, so it isn't restricted to dolls really.

Part 2 (blurring backgrounds): [link]

The doll in the photo is Gabriel, my CP dreaming Lishe boy.

XD you do the levels thing that I do ;3;

And people told me that was BS =A=

I learned it from a photography professor who shot for elle magazine =A= even if it was BS, it's published BS that people actually do!!

Haha, I forgot why I started using levels, but it's way easier to get consistent editing with levels than curves, haha. Why would it be BS?
