i heart faces {Fix-It Friday}

Yay it's Friday!! Time for another Fix-It Friday!!

The picture we were given to fix is of the cutest little girl.

Remember, I did NOT take this picture. I am only allowed to edit it.

SOOC

1st fix

I opened it up in RAW, cropped it and fixed it just a little bit.

I then opened it up in photoshop and ran the Orton Effect action (CoffeShop).

I made a few personal tweaks and flattened.

I then ran an eye love action (don't remember where it came from) to brighten and make the eyes shine.

Flatten and save!

2nd fix

I took the cropped picture I edited in RAW and ran a Golden Vintage action (CoffeeShop).

I made a few personal adjustments and flattened.

I again ran the eye love action (as above) to brighten and make the eyes shine.

Flatten and save!

I love how it warms up the picture :)

3rd fix

I took the cropped picture I edited in RAW and ran Soft Autumn Glow action (CoffeeShop).

I made a few adjustments and then flattened.

I again ran the eye love action...I wish I could remember where I got it!

Flatten and save!

4th fix

I went and cropped the picture a little bit tighter for a portrait feel.

I ran Creamy Chocolate B&W action (CoffeeShop).

I pretty much left it alone except for brushing away the creaminess from the little girls' eyes.

I flattened and then ran the eye love action.

Flatten and save!

I think this one is my favorite!!!!

For Fix-It Friday we are given permission to use the picture and have fun with it :) I love this picture! I don't have too many pictures of my husband and me because I'm always behind the camera :( I guess I'm going to have to get out in front of it a little more often!

For my 1st fix I cropped it and ran 1970's Summer action (I forgot where I got the action from):

For my 2nd fix I ran CoffeeShop Soft Autumn Glow action:

I love summer!! I can't wait for the warm weather to arrive every year so I can take my kiddos to the beach (or in this case the lake). It's so much fun to watch kids be kids. They get down and dirty and have the best time!

The picture I chose to enter into this weeks challenge, was a picture of my daughter Madison. It was her first time at the beach / lake. She had the best time and didn't want to get out of the water at all, except to eat of course! This picture is of her playing in the sand after having lunch. I just love her wind blown, sand filled hair. It puts a big smile on my face every time I look at it :)

There are plenty more beach fun photos over at i heart faces or you can join in the fun and enter!!!

I haven't participated in a while, but this little boy with his amazing blue eyes was one I couldn't pass up!

This photo was taken by Angie.

SOOC

Fix 1--I cropped it for more of a portrait feel. I also brightened it up and increased vibrance and saturation. Then I ran PW lovely & ethereal.

Fix 2--I took the picture above (minus the action) and I ran PW fresh & colorful. I think I really like this one!

Fix 3--I wanted to try and add some sunshine into the picture so I took fix 1 (minus the action) and ran CoffeeShop Johnna's Memories of Sunshine.

Fix 4--I wanted to add a little bit of texture. It's been a while since I've played with my textures :)

Fix 5--Last but not least I wanted to do a B&W so, I ran PW b&w.

I hope you enjoyed looking at all my fixes. I had so much fun with this little boys picture.....thanks Angie!!!! If you'd like to look at more fixes or join in on the fun click on the link to i heart faces!

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)!

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 :)
