It’s been awhile since I’ve done an Fix it Friday for I Heart Faces, so I was itching to get started on today’s edit. I don’t get the chance to shoot many portraits and so it’s good for me to do a Fix It Friday to stay in practice for when those few portrait ops come along.
Here is the original photo we had to work with. Thanks to 50centofyourlove for providing an awesome fix it Friday photo.
My first edit was done mostly in lightroom. As I am still not lightroom SAVVY, I still had to open the photo up in Photoshop for a few little tweaks.
The next edit was done all in CS3 where I could use some Florabella goodies
Both photos have a texture applied to them and blended with “overlay” reduced down into the 20%–30% opacity. This adds just enough to give it that nice and subtle painterly effect without being distracting.
Nice! I’m hopoing to get to mine this weekend!
