Fix it Friday- On Satyrday... Oops! {Las Vegas Children's Photographer}
This week's photo, which was sent to us by Amy Pinney, is proof positive that many, many photos are fixable and we can save many precious moments even if they are taken in less-than-perfect circumstances.
Amy wrote: "The photo I'm submitting is one of my daughter watching her Grandpa play Pinball. It's very closely cropped to include just her face and arms propped on the machine, which you can only see enough of to know what it is. I'm very interested to see what the I Heart Faces team can do with it!"The Original
My Fix #1
1. Opened the image in Adobe Bridge and Adjusted the Exposure/Noise in RAW
2. Ran Coffee Shop Perfect Portrait
3. Cropped
4. Duplicated background, Ran Gaussian Blur- deleting from details
5. Added Vintage Grunge texture to deter from the useless background,
removing from skin and pin ball machine
My Fix #2
1. Started with same image as Fix #1
2. Ran Coffee Shop Splendor B&W
3. Lightened the contrast layer over her eyes
4. Adjusted brown layer to suit taste.

Thanks for your comment on your blog. I love what you did with the background in both of these photos. Wonderful job with these edits!
Loved how you used the texture. I appreciate you including the details on how you fixed the photo. I just used the filters/textures that come with Photoshop but I need to check out Coffee Shop. Great job!
Thanks for the comment on my blog! I'm new to the blogging world so I really appreciate it. I like the saturation in your first edit & I really like your black & white edit...you cleared up her eyes nicely. I have the Chocolate B&W action from CoffeeShop...and I LOVE it!
