My "Fix"

Fix it Fridays # 78

Boy, it's been a while... I found my old favorite photography blogs and wouldn't you know... it's Friday, you know that that means????

FIX IT FRIDAY !

ORIGINAL

My first Edit... simple, clean...

Edit 2, Attempted tilt-shift... but I like it...

Edit 3, This is kind of old school with a boost...

Edit 4, Faded grainy effect...

Fix It Fridays - 48

Here is a quick edit I did this morning with today's "Fix it Fridays" It's simple, and if I was home using my full blown version of PhotoShop I'd do a whole lot more... but I like how simple this is...

I was wondering... I normally use the full version of PhotoShop... I got right to the unsharp mask... Is there anything like that in PhotoShop Elements? I guess I can do some web searches too... but if anyone wants to throw out suggestions, that would be greatly appreciated!

Edited with a simple Border

Another AWESOME photo from "I ♥ Faces" "Fix it Friday" This one was fun....

This was my first edit... simple adjustments to make it look more natural.

Then I thought I'd go a little "acid" ....

I don't know what to call it, I just happened by mistake... but I totally LOVE it...

Here is the original photo.

I ♥ Faces - Fix it Friday #40

Here is a handsome little birthday boy. I felt I needed to remove the clutter, the people in the background, and the lighter on the table. I feel this brought the boy in to the main focus a bit more.

Fix It Fridays = Week 38

WOW I had a lot of fun doing this one. I didn't use ONE preset action made by anyone else. Here is what I did. I adjusted the exposure brighter, I boosted the saturation and contrast, brightened up his beautiful eyes, softened the skin, cropped it down a bit, and added a little bit of a burnt edge. I think that's it. I hope you like it. Thanks I ♥ Faces for another wonderful "Fix it Fridays".

I ♥ Faces Fix It Fridays #37

Here is a cute little girl in the fall leaves. This one was tough for me because I kept struggling with her face being out of focus... I just don't know how to sharpen it up with out it looking so "edgy". But what I did do to the image was, flip it, boost the red and yellow, boosted the contrast, and not to much more... I hope you like.

OK, I always do this... I make one edit and then I go back for more.... here are a few more edits.... If I were to do all these over I would probably move the girl out of the center of the frame... I think she ended up there when I was trying to get away from the tree... oh well next time...
