Fix it Friday #12 {Friendswood, Tx Photographer}

May 1, 2009

This one was a little more difficult for me - I would have preferred to have stared with the RAW file as under-exposed images are easier to correct in ACR. But I have what I have, so this is what I did! (I used some random actions I’ve acquired over the years, so I’m not exactly sure of some creators)

1. Crop and stretch canvas using tutorial by MCP Actions
2. Lighten Darks Atn - Presto
3. Sunshine in your hands atn by Phaunt
4. Exposure Fixerupper by Childsplay
5. Eye pop & sharpen by Phaunt
6. Subtle color atn x2 by Indie Actions
7. Fixed hots spot on the cheek by using the patch tool
8. Magic Skin by MCP Actions @ 64%
9. JPG deblocking by alienware - 100%
10. Slight burn around edges
11. resize & sharpen for web
