I ♥ Faces - Fix It Friday

It's Fix It Friday again over at I Heart Faces! Here's the fixer upper for today called "Sweet Grin." Isn't he a cutie?
And here are my fixes. . .



I used Photoshop CS4, MCP Actions & PW Actions , and here's what I did (roughly):

  1. Basic exposure fixing
  2. Cropped in a little closer
  3. Cleaned up complexion & eyes with the healing brush
  4. MCP Light Fog Fixer
  5. MCP Eye Doctor
  6. MCP Magic Powder (25% Opacity)
  7. PW Soft & Faded (Color Fix Only)
  8. PW B&W Beauty (B&W Fix Only)

If you want to see how other people fixed this photo (or try your own hand at it!), head on over to I Heart Faces and check it out!

    Your color picture is just perfect!! I always try to achieve that perfection, but come up short... well done!!!

    Great job on both!

    I love that the tones are all fixed in your color image without a "plastic-y" feel. Nice work here!

    Thanks so much for all of the kind words, everyone! I'm definitely an action junkie, but I'm slowly learning to use them...responsibly :)
