Fix-It Friday #62... (how did that happen?)

Apparently, it's Fix-It Friday again! They sneak up on me like no one's business and I have been missing out on the fun, so, this morning, I vowed I would get my fix-it up before dinner.

So here it is... as I am running out the door... to the store... to pick up dinner. :)

This just happens to be I Heart Faces' own Amy Locurto's daughter.

Hmm. I'm not sure how proper that English was. We sure talk good here in the South, don't we, huh?

Forgive me...

I just love this sweet capture. Her sundress and pretty smile and that distressed metal lawn chair. Yum. We had those very chairs growing up. Great memories.

So with all that nostalgia building, I felt like doing something totally wacky. I used some ACTIONS! That's right. Crazy.

I wanted something "summertimey". It's a word.
Okay. I made it up. Nothing new.

I really like the warm summery feel of the finished product. Don't you?

Here is how I got it:

Opened the jpeg in Lightroom to add fill light and played with the tone a bit.
Popped this into Photoshop, cropped, and then applied Totally Rad Actions Boutwell Magic Glasses and Slice Like a Ninja (both sharpening, but in different ways). Finally, I used Pioneer Woman's Heartland action and reduced the opacity to about 25%.

Easy peasy.


Have a warm, wonderful, breezy weekend!
