This Fix-it Friday photo was submitted by Angie Arthur, an IHF contributor. Here is the original photo:
And here is my edit (image is clickable to see it larger):
Initially I did a color edit adding a sunshiny haze to this photo but the more I looked at it, the more I wanted a vintage, creamy look with a texture to match the tall grass.
Workflow in PS CS4:
~cropped and fixed the tilt
~adjusted levels
~curves adjustment layer set to screen, masked to show only on girl to lighten dark shadows
~flatten, then Noiseware at low opacity
~slightly increased contrast
~ran Florabella's Mink action from the Luxe collection, lowered contrast, tweaked tone and other effects within the customizable action
~added Paint the Moon's Timeworn Soft texture on soft light at 80% opacity, masked, then reduced the effect by 50% only on girl
~unsharp mask at 50%, 1 px, 10 threshold to add a touch of sharpness
~added a vignette
Thanks for looking and come check out the other edits at i heart faces!
I LOVE the way it looks!
ReplyDeleteWow, I really like this. Its so light and pretty, which is a great contrast to the girl's facial expression. Gives me the impression that she's beautiful but not comfortable in her own skin. Lovely edit!
