And now for this week’s Fix-It Friday!

The original:

My edit:

This week’s Fix-It Friday was a really underexposed photo. This just shows how much you really can fix a photo.

The original:

The edit:

What I did:
Obviously rotated and cropped.
Levels correction.
Pro-retouch under his eyes slightly.
Lights On (Totally Rad Actions): once at 100% and again at 30%.
Pool Party (TRA2) at 100%.
Then a slight texture over the whole image at 50%.

I couldn’t decide what to do to this picture. Her hands seemed distracting to me. I tried cropping it, but didn’t like it. I tried blurring them a little, but didn’t like it. I went back and forth, back and forth. Here’s what I finally came up with. I’m not as happy with it as I’ve been with some of my previous fixes.

The edit:

What I did:
Liquify on her left eye ever so slightly.
Claire-ify at 100% (TRA2: The Revenge).
Slight Pro-Retouch (100%) and Eye Bump (100%) (Totally Rad Actions).
Pross Crossessed #2 at 20% (TRA).
Troy at 50% (TRA2).
Select-O-Pop on her face at 50% (TRA2).
Green With Envy on the greenery in the background at 50% (TRA).
Boutwell Magic Glasses at 50% (TRA).

My edit:

What I did:
Some slight cropping and rotating.
Pro-Retouch at 100% to smooth out face and Eye Bump at 100% (Totally Rad Actions).

My edit:

Lights On at 100%
Lights On (again) at 40%
Pro Retouch under his eyes
Eye Bump at 75% to brighten his eyes
Oh Snap! at 50%

My Edit:

What I did:
I did a bit of Liquify on his left eye to open it up a bit.
Then Pro-Retouch to even out his skin, and Eye Bump (100%) to brighten his eyes.
Then Troy at 50%.

And that’s it!

Here is this week’s Fix-It Friday photo from I ♥ Faces.

My edit:

What I did:
I didn’t want to mess with the crop this week.
I used Pro Retouch very slightly on the light shadows under his eyes.
Eye Bump on his eyes at 70%.
Warm It Up Kris at 50%.
Oh Snap! at 75%.
Yin (lighten) on some of the shadows on his shirt.
Yang (darken) on the trees in the background.
Pross Crossessed #1 at 20%.

I discovered this on Ruby Slippers’ blog. It’s a feature from I ♥ Faces that occurs every Friday. Basically, they post a photo, then invite readers to post their own edits of the photo. Since I’m trying to practice my Photoshop skills, I thought this would be a neat place to do so. So, without further adieu, here is my edit of this Friday’s photo!

Here’s the original:

My edit:

First, I cropped the photo. I was going for a vintage look, so I made good use of my Totally Rad Action set. Here are the actions I used:
Old Skool at 50%
Boring Sepia at 100%
Antique Tone at 100%
Vignette & Blur at 90%
Lights On at 70%
Boutwell Magic Glasses at 100%
