This weeks fix was fun to play with, especially since the little girl was adorable!!! Here’s the original image….
The steps I took in cs3…..
1. exposure fixer-upper (Childs Play) at 74%
2. skin cast blasts (MCP Actions) blueberry @ 41%, shrek @ 37%, mellow yellow @ 100%
3. Phaunt’s eye pop & sharpen @ 60%
4. MCP powder your nose to mask some of the noise in the shadows of her face
5. Slight burn around the edges
6. Resize/Sharpen for web
This picture was too adorable not to play around with some more. For my black and white, I used the medium black and white from Simple by Sarah Actions. For the third image, I used a freebie action I picked up somewhere – Cindy’s Periwinkle. When I use that one, I do a slight burn around the entire picture to bring back the shadows and give the face depth.
