Fix-It Friday #16










So it's another Fix-It Friday over at IHeartFaces! I am kinda proud of this edit because I didn't use any actions to aid in my editing! Just good, old-fashioned Photoshopping.



Original:

My Edit:
All I did was:
~pump up both the brightness and contrast
~apply a warming filter
~use the blur tool to get rid of noise and blemishes
~clone stamped under the eyes to remove redness and on the forehead to remove a vein
~finally, used the elliptical marquee tool to select each eye (individually) and pumped up the brightness and contrast again

And voila!

  4. Ditto to Rebecca - I only know how to use actions, so I'll have to try to learn how you do this. It looks great!
