Chip it.

I have no clue how to use CHIP IT on a picture that is not online. Is it even possible?

I had some pictures from a trip up to the north shore in Minnesota that I wanted to use it on and realized I had never posted them!

I am wanting to use them for a project in my bedroom so I am curious about what the chip it feature would say the colors are.

Yep, I just posted something just so I could “chip it”.

Nice.

Update

Here is what they got.

I was hoping it would pick up more of the teal in the water.

I went back in my photo editing program with the color picking tool and picked out the colors I wanted.

I do like the grey they chose.

Here is what it got for the other ones.

Sunset at the lake

We started out at a popular park inside the city but there were a lot of people.

It took a lot for me to go at all.

Too many kids and most of them a lot bigger then mine.

The boys wanted to go though, so we stayed for a little bit.

Then we headed outside the city to a nearby lake.

The difference was amazing.

So peaceful.

I always want to turn to my husband and say, “can you imagine living here?”

Then I remember that he pretty much grew up on a lake…

He was also in the Navy.

I did make the mistake of asking once or twice early on in our marriage.

He was polite enough to just smile and not outright laugh at me.

My second shooter

We are having some BEAUTIFUL weather here recently!

I decided to take advantage of it and go to a local lake with my two little men.

At first we just sat in the SUV and ate our sandwiches with the windows down.

I can get this shot of him because was eating and still strapped in.

He would never sit that still otherwise.

My two little cuties.

We did a little impromtu photo shoot when we got out of the SUV (I really wish I was allowed to just say car! The men in my family will not stand for it.).

Can you guess who the photographer was?

That’s right, my 5yr old!

He loves to take pictures, which of course I hate…

I now have my own personal photographer following me around!

I love the mayo on his face.

I do not think I would recognize him if he was clean.

We were all ready for a picture but someone held the button down and just kept on clicking away…

and away…

and away…

Even this one started thinking it was funny.

Then he started walking around and turning the camera to get different shots.

He really warmed up to using mommy’s camera.

It was the first camera he ever used so he has no clue it should be intimidating.

I love the images he took!

He then proceeded to take pictures of other things.

Apparently we were too boring for him.

His first shot of this flower was from really far away (I am horrible with distances so I am not even going to try and say how far).

I told him he needed to get closer if he wanted a picture of the flower and not everything.

He did awesome.

I smiled when he said he needed to take a picture of my hair.

I love that little man.
