Fix-it Friday

Yes, I'm still alive I promise. To prove it I wanted to participate in iHeartFaces Fix-It Friday, which I haven't done in a few weeks. Here is the original.

And my edit.


So here is what I did, which really wasn't a whole lot:

Using Gimp:

-used the healing brush to erase the bags under his eyes

-used the lasso tool and color balance to eliminate the green and yellow shading around his eyes

-used the unsharp mask on eyes at 52

Using Lighroom:

-I used a preset called PH Surreal Moment (found in this set)

I like the brightness of the photo how it is centered around that adorable face but how the edges grow dark. I like how you intensified the background. Great edit. Your edit would even look great converted to B&w because it would bring out all the contrast you added. Love it!

I love this. It's very artsy, but still retains all the details of the photo.

I like the highlights in his hair. Very nice. DO you like GIMP?

Thanks for the presents link. I loaded them up today! Nice job getting rid of the green cast around the nose.

Very contemporary with the flat lighting, it would make for a great Sr. Portrait too. Love what you did with the edit.
