I Heart Faces - Fix-It Friday #77

Happy Friday everyone. I am multi-tasking this Friday night :) As I am watching the Carolina Hurricanes take on the Florida Panthers (LET'S GO CANES!), I am working on my Fix-It Friday photo. Can I tell you it it is a wonderful way for me to unwind!

Here is the before photo of Michelle's lovely daughter


To get my edit, I started by cropping in to the 5" x 7" size. I then removed some of the blemishes I noticed by her chin area. Now I am ready to play with the picture.

My first edit involves sharping the image and saturating the color some.


I then decided, I would try something I have never tried before, but have been meaning to try... textures... I started by giving the image a semi-vintage look and then applied a light floral texture in the background.


These were my two fixes for the week. Be sure you check out what the other talented people have done over at I Heart Faces. They will be sure to inspire you!

I Heart Faces - Fix-It Friday #76

My Friday night tradition... Fix-It Friday over at I Heart Faces. This week we were give a picture that was a bit of a challenge for me. Usually, some sort of vision comes to be right away, but this picture just didn't speak to me. I am pretty sure it is because my parents and sister have been at the beach this week enjoying the lovely Florida sun while I have been stuck dog sitting, working away... No, I am not bitter :p

Like, all my edits, I started by cropping to standard size. This time it was a vertical 8" x 10". I then adjusted the colors of the photos in PS3 in the levels palette by using the eyedropper. I clicked on various areas of the photo using the white and black eyedroppers until I was happy with how the colors looked. After turned the photo black and white and then brought some of the color back, so the image had sort of a vintage look, without looking too warm.

I hope you like it :)

I Heart Faces - Pink Week

I haven't done an I Heart Faces Photo Challenge in awhile. Mostly because I haven't had a picture that fit. This week the challenge is near and dear to my heart as it is to many of you. In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, this week's challenge is the color pink.

Below you will find my entry, which is of not of Miss A, because Miss A does not often sport the color pink these days. This muse of mine is my best friend's daughter who I shall call Lady Bug on here :) Lady Bug never ceases to make me smile and I only pray that her and Miss A shall never suffer from breast cancer as some of my relatives and friends have. Please ladies remember to do your monthly self exams and "get squished" when the time comes.


Be sure to visit I Heart Faces and check out what the other amazing talent have captured for you!

I Heart Faces - Fix-It Friday #74

So it is time for I Heart Faces Fix-It Friday. I almost didn't participate today because I did so much photo editing at work today. But who could resist playing with such a cute picture? I started with cropping it down and played with the colors to give it a sort of vintage look. I would've loved to play more, but it is getting late and my eyes are starting to burn. Maybe next time....

I Heart Faces - Fix-It Friday #73

Like most people I spend most of my days behind a computer. And while behind there, I spend about 25% of my time editing pictures. In fact, this coming week I am getting ready to have a picture editing marathon for work. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE PhotoShop, it is the computer program that helped me decide what I wanted to do for a living, but sometimes when all you do is edit pictures all day that LAST thing you want to do it play with more pictures in PhotoShop when you come home night.

Lately, however, when I see I Heart Faces Fix-It Friday Challenges come out I can't help myself. So here is my first official Fix-It Friday submission.
