Fix-It Friday #50- Urban Girl!

A while back this picture was submitted for Constructive Critcism Friday and I worked on it then. I have been out all day today with my family, but thought I'd show what I did then. I worked on it in Picnik (Premium) as I knew this was the Debbie (the original photographer) was using for editing and I wanted to be able to give her some tips :D


Here's a copy of the comments I left Debbie that day;


I'll try to remember what I did;

• Upped the exposure and fiddled with the contrast. I know I used the local contrast at about 10 and upped the ordinary contrast to 10 also. 
• I tweeked the shadows and highlights too.
• In 'touch up' I lightly used the teeth whitener on the whites of her eyes! The made them much less blue. Then I dodged her whole of her eyes lightly.
• In 'advanced' I used the faded daguerreotype curve and faded it out to leave a nice skin tone.
• I applied a light orange tint effect and faded that too (brought her skin up even better)!
• I reapplied the dag' curve and faded it out again.
• I blemish fixed her skin (always make sure to do this in phases as the undo doesn't work on this tool). And then I airbrushed all over her skin on her face and neck, fading in out about 60% to give a nice natural look.
• Lastly, I framed for effect :D
