Fix-it Fridays @ iheartfaces...




I am so excited to be apart of this again! Its so fun and I really do enjoy it!

I have one edit today, and it may not be that great. I probably did too much to it, and maybe I could have simplified the process. Although, that is the joys of learning!!

Here is the original photo:

Now here we go...

These are the steps I took to reach my final process.

Paint the Moon's Simple Lighten 50% (default)
Coffee Shop's Little Perk 30%
Coffee Shop's Vivid 2
    no levels adjustment, vignette 10%, Soft 72%, Urban 83%
High Pass set to overlay blending mode 1.4 at 30%
Cloned out a few pumpkins
Cropped
Simply Vintage
   Lighten 55%, Soft Haze 2%, Color Mute 9%
Paint the Moon's Timeworn Soft texture at 68%, Blend mode Darker Color
Layer Mask to take the texture off the face.
Additional Sharpening..

See what I mean!!!! That just seems too much. Really I just play around until I like it, but for Fix-it Friday I wrote all my steps down. Maybe that's why I noticed the excess..

So... here it is!!



And here is the Before & After!



I love this diptych from CoffeShop!

I hope you enjoy your Friday and thanks for stopping by!!!
