Fix-It Friday #66- Cute Boy 2!

Original

A few quick edits in Picnik ~ more later from Gimp...

Picnik 1

• Crop and rotate ~ I really wanted to tilt him more upward, but didn't want to chop off the top of his head. I might have a go with stretch canvas later in gimp!
• Warm and increase saturation slightly, increase contrast slightly, unsharp quite a lot
• Use eye bright lightly, use sunless tan lightly on skin

____________________________________

Picnik 2

• used faded daguerreotype curve adjustment, with increased contrast (s curve)
• faded to 70 % and colour override at 95%
• Cloned out the grey area on the right, as it was quite distracting.

Picnik 3

same as P2 just added a mirror frame with decreased polish.

 (I love the easy framing effects in Picnik)

Picnik 4

• From P2 added cross process (faded to about 50%) and vibrance effect (also faded out)
• for framing I used 'curved corner' + border with rounded corner radius  (colour selected from his T-short) + curved corner again (remember to select 'transparent corners').

Gimp Edit

I think these are my favourite edits of all, but it was also the most work!!
It shows me what I can do in Gimp though, with a little bit of patience, no actions and a fair amount of perseverance!
It really helps when I have the PC to work on rather than the laptop though as the colours are SO much better!
