Fix it Friday {166}

This  weeks fix it friday is a White Balance doozy!!  Lol!!  I edited it in PSE8 again even though I promised to start using CS5…what can I say, lol!!  So anywho, I opened it first in camera raw and adjusted the white balance temp sliders to my taste.  I adjusted the recovery slider to +10, and fill light to +20, then I opened the image to PSE8. 

  Next I cropped at 5x7 ratio, and then ran coffee shop’s perfect portrait 2. I left the levels as they were,  Once the action ran I  first adjust the contrast to 25%, next was smoothing the skin at 40%.  I painted the vivid color layer over her shirt and earring.  I painted the soft glow over her cheeks, nose, chin, and forehead and then I flattened the image.

I then ran Morgan Kervin’s eye love 2, I defined the eyes at 100% and brightened the pupils at 25% and then flattened.  Lastly I ran MCP’s web resize and sharpen. 

 

This is the original

And this is my take

And you know I gotta add a velvet cream…
