I HEART FACES: "FIX IT FRIDAY"

I think I missed a friday or two recently for "fix it friday" but I wanted to get one in today. This photo is of an adorable little girl and when I saw it I decided that I wanted it to have a vintage vibe. So here is what I did...

My edited version:
fix 5

What I did:
1. Increased contrast and Levels to bring out the blacks.
2. Sharpened a little using Smart Sharpen to bring out the eyes more.
3. Coffeeshop Baby Powderoom action applied.
4. Coffeeshop Vintage action applied with these settings:
-Colorizer layer 58%
-Tint layer 17%
-Levels layer 91%
5. Distressed Texture overlay at 63% and erased off of girl.
6. MCP burnt edges at 50%.


Head on over to i heart faces to check out the other great edits!

Love the processing you've done here! I've been working with textures, and now I just need to learn how to erase it off of the subject ... any hints or tips would be great! Love your music, too! =)

Thanks borne.image.photography for the compliments! I love using textures. I apply the texture with a soft light blending mode and then use a layer mask and erase the texture off the skin with the brush tool set to about 75% opacity. Hopefully that helps!
