Pretty in Pink ~ I ♥ Faces ~ Friday Fix-it
What a precious picture this week! I have a soft spot for thumb-suckers. (My middle child still sucks his thumb.) This little sweetie also looks to be close in age to my little girl. I’d love for my daughter to wear cute headbands like the one in the picture, but…she’s not willing to put up with that!
This week I was in the mood for pastels and light colors. I also decided to pretty up the photo with borders and graphics. Why not? It’s fun. ☺
What I did:
- Adjusted levels
- Adjusted brightness contrast
- Reduced noise
- Used a defog action
- Used glamour glow from Coffeeshop to brighten the face
- Fixed a couple spots on the face with the healing brush
- Flattened and duplicated the layer
- Changed top layer to black and white using a gradient map
- Reduced opacity on top layer to let some color peek through
- Tilted the photo over a bit to the left
- Cropped photo into a square shape
- Made a border to go around the picture using Flower Fusion Photoshop brushes. (not sure of the location of that one)
- Added scrapbooking elements (Bella Gypsy ~ Love Lori)
- Added some text. (LD Italic)
This is what I got:
Come try out a fix of your own at I ♥ Faces!

I saw what you did go Angie's blog last night and love it!!!! I see you got to work on your own also...I love that picture!
What a great fix....I got elements for Mothers Day but haven't even installed it yet. Would it just be horrible for me to say that I'm scared....seems so intimidating and when I see other peoples fixes looks like it takes so much work!
I asked Angie if I could be adopted? I just love you guys :)
beautiful!!!!! i love the colors you used and how it turned out!!!!
i also love all the graphics on your page, so simple and sweet! do you do blog designs?
thanks for following my blog...you are too kind! i look forward to getting to 'know' you and sharing thoughts and pics with you! i just got my first DSLR yesterday, and thanks to Angie, Amy and other contributors at I {Heart} Faces like yourself, i'm able to jump right in and use it no problem. i can't wait to capture moments much faster than with my p&s!!!!! i almost wanted to sleep with it last night, i couldn't put it down. : ) Hubby wasn't so happy with that idea though!!! Happy Friday!
What a cute picture and great fixes to the picture as well. I want to know where the head band came from? Too cute!!
I love your crop and the border, too sweet! I haven't tried the Glamour Glow action, I'll have to check it out! Thanks for your nice comments :)
Your edit on that sweet picture was beautiful! I just read your blog and enjoy your stories and photography. I think you have just inspired me to start my own "Year in Photos". With 4 kiddos I'm sure I could easily have a memory every day that needs preserving:)
Super Super Cute!!! Amazing Edit!
I really love what you did to the photo!!! The pink is so girls and cute. Also, I like the photo on your banner, it's so cute and totally how it is most of the time.
I actually didn't buy anything! I just used the free community version. It is a stand alone and not a plug in. But it's FREE! So I run it and then open the image in PSE. Just make sure you saveas the photo because you can't see your EXIF data on the filtered version!
I love your fix :-) and your sweet comments over at I Heart Faces! :-) thanks so much!!
I love it so much. Love it like crazy. As soon as I saw the fix it picture I said in my head, Drew, is going to do something totally wonderful with this. And you did : ). You never cease to amaze me!
Your "fix" was awesome Drew. Wouldn't this be so sweet on a digi-scrapbooking page?!
