It is time for another fun Fix-it Friday at I ♥ Faces. I strongly recommend that anyone interested in photography go check out their site. They have lots of great tutorial, challenges, and giveaways. I have learned so much just by participating in the challenges.
This was texture week at I ♥ Faces. For this fit-it Friday they recommended that we use a texture in our edits. Since I don’t use very many textures, I thought it would be fun.
Here is the original photo. I love the little snowman and the serious expression on the little girls face. In my edit I wanted to be sure that there was enough contrast between the jacket and the snowman, so you could really tell what she was holding. Then, I added the texture.
Here is my edit:
The first thing I did was warm up her face a bit, using a curves adjustment. Then I added a mask and inverted it so I could just paint the color correction on her face. I didn’t want to change the color of the rest of the photo. Then I increased the contrast, again using a curves adjustment. I added two textures from Nichole Van and then erased the texture off the subject. Then I cropped the photo and added a slight vignette. That’s it.
I think this is an adorable photo and I like how the edit turned out.
If you want to see more edits or you want to play along go check out I ♥ Faces to see all the other Fix-it Friday participants!
