Every Friday over at i <3 faces they “fix up” a photo.
Here is the original…
And here are my edits…
Edit #1 – My basic edit…I lightened the picture, edited the skin a tad, sharpened the eyes and boosted the color of the grass.
Edit #2 – I took my basic edit and ran the action Pool Party- gave the pic a warm muted look. I then cropped in closer to that pretty face….I adore close crops!
Edit #3 – Once again took my basic edit, and then just ran the action Bitchen B&W.
If you'd like to play along you can go download the original, and take your own shot at editing the photo at I ♥ Faces.


Love it. I love how her eyes pop :)

Beautiful! Seeing your edits side by side is fun too. And I love the B&W as well, it is so hard to get that just right and you did a great job!

Love #1. Her skin is lighter, but still shows those rosy cheecks. Great work.

I love your first edit- great way to brighten the photo but not blow out all of the tones.

I haven't seen you in a while! Isn't she the cutest little thing? She reminds me of the actress that was in Matilda : ) What wonderful edits!
