Fix It Friday,
Photography
I've been so busy lately, I've been choosing to not participate in FIF...but this one, I just couldn't resist! How sweet is this little lady?! Here's the before shot:
And here are my fixes...
My first pass looks like this - I cropped, rotated, sharpened, and did some lighting stuff all in Lightroom. Then I brought it over to PSE to do the rounded corners.
Then I decided to try my hand with overlaying some textures. This first one has sort of a soft, vintage feel to it:
This one has that same texture, but with an added texture to give it a little more of an aged look.
I'm not sure about those textures quite yet. I just love the look of a sharp and bright photo. Maybe they'll grow on me...
I love the crisp photos too! Usually with my textures I add a layer mask and mask out the skin so the texture is in the background but not covering up the person.
Good Call on the rounded corners... I like that!
Textures for me seem tricky... I always end up making things/people look like they have small pox or something! Not the best look! I'll have to try Danielle's advice about the layer mask.
Hope you have a great weekend -- get some rest!
