Roper Family Blog Spot: Fix-It Friday #21

It is fix it Friday again at http://www.iheartfaces.com/! This was a challenging week. Why, you ask? Well because I felt like this week they had us edit a photo that I thought was perfectly fine just the way it was. The sharpness was great, the coloring looked fine, and the background was eye catching.... so I guess it is time to whip out some textures again through Photoshop. I know you have seen a lot of these edits but it is something new I learned and I am trying to master it! So deal with it! :D

Here were the steps that I took

1) Added a little sharpness

2) Added a little contrast and brightness

3) Did an adjustment layer and selected colorize and adj. the hue to 35

4) Did a 2nd adjustment layer and moved the saturation to 85

5) Did a levels adjustment layer and adjusted the color

6) Added 4 different textures to only the background of the photo

7) Used an overlay mask from www.jessicasprague.com class and typed in the font Mysterious and Compelling using Porcleain font.

That was it! Hope you enjoy and Happy Friday!
