    Fix-It Friday #57

    June 3, 2010 - By Lysha

    Original I did 5 or 6 edits of this photo, but I wanted to post something “out of the box.” So here you have it! This is a texture layer added to make it look like a strip of film. Not my favorite, but something different.

    Fix-It #21: “Mr. Handsome”

    July 24, 2009 - By Lysha

    Original – “Mr. Handsome” Here’s my fixed photo. I played around with this picture and didn’t like anything I came up with. Then I decided to see what would happen when I played around with the black/white adjustments in Photoshop and this is what I came up with.

    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: #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…
