Fix-It Friday #86*

*It's #86 according to the IHF website; this is the first week I've participated!


Edited in Photoshop CS3
  • Opened in ACR and made adjustments there (lightened exposure a bit, reduced the red)
  • Cropped and added some background to the left edge.
  • Curves and Contrast adjustment layers
  • Added heart background texture (Found here on Flickr)
  • Added parchment texture at low opacity, masked to clear her face
  • Duplicated background layer and desaturated it, reduced opacity then masked everything but her hat, to bring back some detail.
  • Sharpened for web
Here is the original image; it's not my shot, I only did the edit as part of I Heart Faces Fix-It Friday challenge. Copyright on the image belongs to the original photographer.

    Love that you can still see the wispy hairs even though you changed the background. Great job!
