Fix-It Friday #55

Are you ready for another fix-it?

This cute, sweet, delicious, baby girl, love belongs to Shelle from Mommy Can't Sing. Shelle wrote: "This is a photo of my 16 months old baby girl. I am currently doing a 365 challenge where I take at least one photo per day. This was one of the photos. Unfortunately, before Daylight Savings a lot of time I was scrambling to take a photo before the light was gone. Well, in this photo it was beyond gone! But my baby was sitting there so sweetly that I couldn't resist taking her photo. The color is bad and the background is messy, but just love her face!"

Is this baby not edible?

Ooohhh, Shelle! I am so in awe of your 365 dedication. This is the part where you DO NOT visit my photo journal link to see how utterly awful I am at keeping up with my 365-project-turned-into-"photo journal".

I am very disappointed in me.


However, Shelle gets a fix-it for her diligent efforts and here it is:

Steps for this edit were performed with Photoshop Elements 7 and the actions are all from CoffeeShop Actions...

-Crop
-Unsharp mask
-Adjust sharpness
-Despeckle filter
-Level adjustment
-Powder Room 2 action (skin softening, eye define, white whites)
-Clone tool to remove a few spots on chin
-Hue/Saturation adjustment
-Hot Cocoa action (reduced to 20%)
-Added a texture to destract a bit from the background noise

Hope this one melts your heart, Shelle!

Have a beautiful weekend everyone...
