I Heart Faces - Fix it Friday

This makes me long for spring!

So I couldn't help but go with a little bit of a "Springy" Fix it . . .

And this is after . . .

I rotated CCW 8% and cropped closer in.

Used Coffeeshop's Perfect Portrait action to smooth skin tones just a bit and brighten the eyes a little.

Then I applied a new adjustment layer for levels and brought the levels up a bit to brighten her face. I unmasked the areas I didn't want overly bright.

Found a cute springy daisy and applied it as a texture and erased from the main subject.


Yep! Makes me feel like Spring!
