PIGTAILS

You may have noticed, I took a hiatus from working.
After moving & major remodeling, I am enjoying the remainder of the summer with my family.
My new work station is now up and running... I'm super excited for that!

Here's an edit of an old photo.

FIF 84

I Heart Faces posts a variety of photos every Friday for photographers of all levels to practice their digital editing skills. This week's FIX-IT FRIDAY is a fun one because the photo is a challenge... the original photo is a bit blurry, lighting is inconsistent, skin tones are off, and the eyes have no definition.

I worked on this beautiful baby in PS5 1st with a few layers of texture and lighting adjustments. Then in PS5 I worked on the details: under the eyes are blended, center of eyes are reconstructed, and the eyebrows are reconstructed as well. I used LR3 for the Sepia photo texture, file management, & publishing.

In the end, I love the way the background colors compliment her clothing and aren't the bubbles under her bottom lip just irresistible?!

Thanks for stopping by, enjoy! --Jen

Photo Challenge | Winter Wonderland


This challenge is challenging for me considering it has been 80 degrees here in sunny Southern California! I reworked an old pic for this challenge. Did my best, but this was from an old point and shoot camera.

Photo Editing Fun | Fix It Friday #82

It’s Fix-It Friday, a weekly event at www.iheartfaces.com where we can all join the fun by editing that same photo in own way and linking into the party! Today we have a photo that Rachel Durik captured during the recent Dream Big Photography Workshop in Dallas.

Here's my favorite

I use PS and LR for my editing. I ran some HD sharpening on it in PS with hazy layers & background texture. I didn't like seeing the photographer in her eye, so I edited that out with a larger pupil in LR, but still kept in some of the natural light reflection on her eyes.

This is it in color

And the original
