    Fix-It Friday: #15 Little Precious

    May 29, 2009 - By Lysha

    Original – “Little Precious” Here’s my “fixed” version. Using CS4, I played with curves to help with the exposure. Then, I unmasked the eyes and used the dodge tool. I increased the vibrance to bring out the color. I then used Lens Blur along with a dark vignette on the pic excluding her face. I cloned out some of the little red marks on her face.

    Fix-It Friday: #14 Ponytail Princess

    May 22, 2009 - By Lysha

    Original – “Ponytail Princess” Here’s my “fixed” version. Using CS4, I cropped the picture. Then I played with curves to help with the exposure. Then, I unmasked the eyes and used the dodge tool. I increased the vibrance to bring out the color. I uploaded into Picnik, where I went into Create and did the Effect called Orton-ish. I decided to use that effect because it made the colors a little brighter and softened the photograph. From there I went to Edit and did Rotate. Then, back under Create in Frames, I did Rounded Edges

    Fix-It Friday: #13 Little Beauty

    Original – “Little Beauty” Here’s my “fixed” version. Using CS4, I cropped the picture. Then I played with curves to help with the exposure. I increased the vibrance to bring out the color. I rotated it some (I’m really into angles lately). I smoothed out the dirt on her arms and face and reduced the noise to help with the dirt too. I added some warmth to the picture (colors>yellow).

    Be sure to check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other beautiful faces that have been entered into the contest! This is my first adult entry.

Didn’t figure that would fly to well with I ♥ Faces contest. 🙂

    Fix-It Friday: #1 Redheaded Beauty

    February 6, 2009 - By Lysha

    Over on this awesome site, they do Fix it Friday, where this original picture is straight out of the camera and needs a little help. I messed around and tried several different things including some different actions. I’ve been indecisive about posting this photography here or on my photog biz site. Guess I’ll just stick with it here. =) Original – “Redheaded Beauty” #1 Nothing Extreme – This one I hand corrected without any actions. #2-9 Are all done with actions. Just playing around really. 🙂 #2 Muted Fashion #3 Muted Fashion – edited and cropped #4 Troy #5 GlamBlur…
