[...] 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.

love the black and white conversion! but, like natalie said, the eyes are a little too overdone for me. i’d prefer the opacity to be lowered a tad.

Just purchased my Quickie collection …. can’t wait to get started. I’m pleased to see your step-by-step … not so overwhelming for us novices when its broken down like that. Great improvements on the photo … not familiar with “patch” …. I’ll have to research that!

Ummm Wow. Gonna have to start saving so I can afford some actions, and some classes! That is GREAT!

The way you decided to crop the photo made all the difference! Your B&W processing was the cherry on top

Wonderful edit and instruction. His eyes are incredible and really draw you in and keep you there. ~Jackie

He’s a cutie. You did a very nice job with the skin, but I would have made the eyes a bit more subtle. It’s just a little too cartoonish for my taste.

I love all the improvements! The new compostion makes the boy the main focus of the photo, and we’re instantly drawn to his eyes! Whereas in the original, my eyes were initially drawn to that bright spot outside the window.
