i heart faces {Fix-It Friday}

Today's photo was taken by Angie Arthur. It is a wonderful photo it just needs a little bit of warmth added to it.

Here is her SOOC photo:

For my first fix, I added some warmth and then softened it a little bit.

My second fix I wanted some more edge to it so, I increased the contrast. I also bumped up the colors a bit too!

 For my final fix, I kept the contrast and color of the second fix and just softened it up a bit. I added a border and a saying for my final touches!

This was a really fun picture to edit! If you'd like to have some editing fun click over to i heart faces and download the photo!

I hope you enjoyed my fixes :)

It's Friday again!!! I love Fix-It Fridays and this one is no different. The photo is adorable! I really love kiddos in pumpkin patches :)

***I did NOT take this photo. I was given permission to take the photo and edit it as I wish.***

SOOC:

FIX 1:
I opened the image up in photoshop and cropped it. I then brightened it up a bit using a levels layer. Flatten. I then ran CoffeeShop's Baby Powder action and smoothed the little girls skin, lighten her skin a bit, defined her eyes and brightened them. Flatten.

FIX 2:

I took FIX 1 and ran CoffeeShop Johnna's Tea Party and turned on the top one with contrast boost and set the opacity at 48%. Flatten.

FIX 3:

I took FIX 1 and ran a spoon full of sugar action under dreaming in black and white (I don't remember who I got it from). I left everything as is except for gradient map 1 (87%). Flatten.

FIX 4:

I took FIX 1 and add a texture, put the texture in Overlay at 100%. I then add a layer mask to the texture to erase away the texture on the little girl. Flatten. I then added some text and flattened again.

I had so much fun editing this photo! I hope you like what I did!

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!!!!

i heart faces {Beach Fun}

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!
