Fix It Friday

Here is todays origional pic. 

Looks like this young lady is having a Great day!

This evening was my very first time using CS4.  It's been on my computer, I just haven't had the time to sit down and play with it.  Ha - Ha - Ha!  It took me a while, but I FINALLY figured out where my Actions were!  Ugh!  Anyway...Here is my final edit.  I.  Am. D. O. N. E.  Done.

Some how, some way I've come up with a "work flow" for myself and it always seems to be the same.  If it strays, it's not too far off the beaten path.  I'll share it with ya, I'm not shy.

I open a copy of my photo, never work on your origional in case something tragic happens to it.

"Defog" your image by clicking on Sharpen, unsharpen mask.

Adjust levels.

Adjust selective color levels.

Adjust Curves.

Merge layers.

Sharpen image.

Clean up any blemishes.

Use Dodge Tool for the eyes.

If I feel the skin is too pink, I run aa little free action i found called "Baby Skin" by Childish David, you can find it at this web site - http://www.lightonkids.com/actions/free.html

Run any additional actions.

Save your image at this stage, making sure you name it with "edit" somewhere in the title.

Okay, so anyway, I think I'm gonna like it. 

C-ya next Friday!
