i heart faces {Fix-It Friday}

Today we were given a picture of Angie's daughter to edit. This is such a sweet picture of two best friends! I had somewhat of a hard time deciding what I wanted to do with it, but I think I got it....or at least I hope it did :)

The Original
My first fix--I brought out some of the colors and decided to crop it just a little bit.
My second fix--I wanted it to be a little bit softer so I ran the lovely & ethereal action (I believe it's from i heart faces).
My third fix--I opened up fix #2 in Picnik and found a nice matte to make the picture feel a little bit more soft and airy.
My fourth fix--Again I opened up fix #2 in Picnik and found a really neat edit. I think it was called soft focus. I was just having some fun :)
I really enjoy Fix-It Fridays and look forward to them every week! I also really enjoy Picnik now (this was my first time using it)!

i heart faces {Fix-It-Friday}

Today is Fix-It-Friday and the picture is ADORABLE!! I had so much fun adding my touches to this picture :) I must say the picture was perfect SOOC!

Here it is:

SOOC
My first fix was to open it up in RAW and I just softened it a big with the Clarity slide.
Then I opened it in Photoshop and cropped it.
Next I had some fun running some actions!!
The first action I ran was CoffeeShops Johnna's Memories of Sunshine and I tweaked it a bit.

The next action I ran was Pioneer Woman Set #2 Heartland.
I also did a few tweaks to this as well.

The 3rd action I ran was Pioneer Woman Set #2 Seventies.

The last thing I did was to do a B&W!
I ran CoffeeShop Creamy Chocolate B&W action.
I turned off the chocolate layer so it was just b&w and adjusted the creaminess.
I also did some selective coloring....I really like it!


I hope you like one or all of my fixes! I can't wait to see what others have done with this picture :)
