Fix-it Friday #61 at i heart faces

This Fix-it Friday photo was submitted by Angie Arthur Photography, an IHF contributor. Here is her before:


And here is my edit (image is clickable to see it larger):


I knew there would be a lot of really beautiful edits on this image and I wanted to do something different... something that popped, was a bit edgy, with an urban feel.

My workflow, using Photoshop CS4:
~cropped
~a little levels tweaking
~ran Florabella's Sapphire action from the new Luxe collection, customized adjustment layers and reduced overall effect
~Noiseware at low opacity
~high pass sharpening layer, masked out on skin
~texture (Concrete Jungle from pareeerica on Flickr) added on an Overlay blend mode, masked out woman

Thanks for looking!
