fix-it-friday: 1930’s beauty

by Mariah on July 16, 2010

Fix It Friday is here. You know the drill. And be sure to check out the other edits at i heart faces.

This week’s picture is of Amy’s daughter. You can tell because she looks just like her mother! And she is wearing a headband that would make Tipjunkie proud! I saw this picture, the face, the chair, and I was immediately taken to a little girl of the 1930’s. So I wanted to make it a slightly vintage feel.

The original. So adorable.

My edit. I did something I do not usually do. I used a psd action. Can I just say that I LOVE them! I used the Dirt Bad Texture from Totally Rad Actions. Love it. Liked it so much I am going to purchase some! I cropped a bit off. Not much. I also used curves to make that vintage feel. I dodged the face a bit to take a little of the shadow off that great smile. I also dodged the eyes just a hair. I wrapped it up by burning a few spots here and there and that’s it.

I’m all about re-touching. You’ve done a marvelous job here. SITS sent me by, and I’m glad they did!
