Poster Edges or Smudge Stick?

I'm trying to figure which Adobe Photoshop Elements filter I should use for my free canvas print — poster edges or smudge stick. Which photo do you think looks better on canvas?

  1. I think Poster edges b/c the smudge completely whites out Disney's face. It is a hard pick though. Which does the wifey like?

  2. Hmmmm crazy but I like the poster edges when it's smaller, and the smudge when it's larger. I'm no help.

    Hugs,

    • I guess I won't know for sure until I actually see it on canvas. Then I'll probably second guess myself.

      • Holly has a point. I can't make up my mind. I still think Poor Little Disney is too whited out. Can they fix that? It kind of makes him look like… an Ewok? It just looks weird. For that reason alone I'd go with the Poster Edge. Well, except that in Poster Edge it makes him look like an old man who drew on hair. Smudge makes his hair look fuller. Oh just get both :P

    Poster Edges. The smudge effect makes Disney's eyes look like holes. Is he shooting out laser beams at you?

  5. I like the most distinct so I can see their cute little faces. Smudged is too much like my reality

    I like the poster edges better. although I think a softer tough would be better if you can find it.

  12. Poster Edge is my preference. And I agree with Auntie E – a softer touch would be better. … your kids are adorable and the filters are getting in the way!! Best for the holidays.

  13. I kind of luck the smudge one. But I see what folks mean about how your childrens' eyes look. Is there something a bit softer? Let us know what you choose to do. What beautiful babies you have!

  15. They're both so cute. I kind of like the smudge, but then I do worry about the eyes looking hollow. You might be able to find some online photo editors with more filters.

    You might have already gotten it printed by now, but for the future, anyway!
