Fix-It-Friday No.29 - Little Red Headed Beauty

Original. (provided by The Animators Wife - one seriously awesome photographer!)



Edit One

Exp +10, Local Contrast +10, Shadows +4, Highlights +7, Sharpen using unsharp ++, Crop 8x10, rotate to loose the arms, clone out sun on right side of her face and then dodge the shadows all over her face, Bright Eye on iris - lighten ++, then bright eye on whites - lighten just a touch - save.




Edit 2

from edit one - use faded dagherreotype at 30% fade and colour overide at 66%
Soften @35% and faded 74%, erase from mouth, eyes and nose. Frame to match the darkest browns.




Edit 3

You have to try a B&W, but I didn't want to loose her freckles. This is just B&W applied then tweaked with curves. Framed black




Edit 4

Back to edit one - used faded S curve and then applied a faded cross process (easy)!




Edit 5

Again from Edit One - used a 20% faded sepia - how easy is that!!


Edit 6

Last edit (again from edit one) - applied duo tone using a dark reddish brown and the preset yellow. Brightness -38, Contrast 41, faded to 72%. framed to match. :D

Hope you like my edits. Lots of comments please - nice, & critical - either - I don't mind :D
