 This week’s photo comes from Fix It Friday at I Heart Faces. I participate as a contributor there every few weeks.  This little girl is just adorable – so I was excited to improve upon her photo.  Here is my play and step by step of what I did.

    I really need to try to duplicate this – I just can’t seem to use the eye doctor well. You really did such a beautiful job!

    Darlean – let me know what you cannot duplicate with the eye doc so I can help you.

    Her right side is blown.

      Vikas – I am not seeing that in PS at all. I just opened it up and checked again. There is no channel at 255 (or even above 247 anywhere I can find on the face). There are a few spots in the highlights where the red channel is at 247 – so in those areas it is brighter. But none that I can find qualify as blown.

    Hey Jodi, what is the step 9 for ? (flattened, duplicated and screen layer at 35%)
    Looks great!

    Jodi says:

    screen layers – that is a blending mode and it brightens up the photo.
