MCP Blueprint – Fixing Skin Issues on a Young Boy

Categorized Under: Blueprints, Photoshop Actions, Photoshop Tips & Tutorials

This photo was sent to me from I Heart Faces website for their Fix It Friday Segment last week. The photographer was Amy of muddy boots blog. This little boy is so sweet, but the photo had poor composition, chopped fingers, and a skin problem. The parent wanted the skin issues to vanish. Below is my play with the photo and then step by step directions on what actions and tools I used in Photoshop to improve it. As always comment and let me know your thoughts.
