This is fun!!
I just recently found out that I love to post process photos!! I may not be great as some, but I like what I do!
Here is the Original Photo (I did NOT take this photo):
I love using PW's actions for PSE. The first one I used was a boost action. Just to bring the color up a little more. I used the dodge tool next to make it a little lighter on her skin and face. Then I decided on a soft & faded action. Which decolorizes the photo, so what was the point of the boost.. its all about learning!!
Then I saw that they had a straighten tool. So I straightened and cropped. Unsharp mask set at 80% with a radius of 2.0 and a threshhold of 0.
Then I decided to put an edge burn and that just wasn't working for me.
Just this morning, I was cruising around Flickr and I happened upon a texture group. Someone in this group made a whole bunch of free textures because she just loved it so much. So, hey!! Why not get a few (even tho.. I wanted them ALL) They are really good. So I used this one.
Laid it on top, set the blending mode to multiply, maybe decreased it alittle. Don't think it needed it though. Then flatten and save.
I really love how it came out and I hope you do too!
Ok... I had to add another one.
In this one, I added clouds in the background. I took some off of another photo and then just layered them on top. (yay! I'm excited! first time!) Then lightened her face, blurred the line between the clouds and rest of pic, boosted the blue part on just the clouds, and then boosted the over all color...

GREAT job for your first time! I did a texture too. ;) I love the pink tones you brought out in the photo... so pretty! Welcome to the FIF fan club, tee hee!
Thank you! The pink is actually from the texture. I thought it made it really pretty and girly!!
The pink is great! All in all I love the vintage feel. This is my first time entering too haha. Isn't post processing great! Its so relaxing (to me). :)
Thanks! Yes, I can definitely spend a whole day post processing and never get tired... I may or may not need an intervention!!
Oooh I love your edit! Very unique! I love the vintage tone, makes it easy on the eyes, yet catches my attention. Great job!
Thanks!!
I really like them too! I think you did a great job. I wish I knew PSE. I don't!! You did a GREAT job! The first one is a little light for me but I really like COLOR!!
Love it!
I really like the soft one!!
This is my 2nd time and I really enjoy seeing the different takes!
I like them both. You did a great job!
