Touch up Tuesdays: Baby vs. Sock Monkey Hat

Hello! I'd LOVE to welcome all of you lovely Touch Up Tuesday people to the 3rd Touch Up Tuesday at Paper Heart Camera! I hope you enjoy this photography community. It's brand spankin' new! So, any input is very welcome. Thanks.... Now on to Touch Up Tuesday!

Before:

 For this edit I adjust the levels, curves, and added a blue solid color to the photo. The solid color gives it a hazy look. Then, I ran my Sharpen action. Then, I used the clone tool at 100% opacity to cover up the black spot on the right. It was too distracting for me.

After:

So, this next photo had a lot of shadow. After running the action, it was even darker. So, I flattened the image, set the lasso tool to 120px and selected the shadow areas. I brightened up the section with curves.

Before:

After:

 After:

If you guys are interested in this action: I'll try and get this action up for you guys in a couple of days. Let me know if you're interested! It's been a lot of trial and error trying to figure out how to create actions for other people. I've been having fun with it though!

Let's see your edits!

Photography love...

    So, I think the hat I won (above) was made by a family member of Shawtae's. But, you guys can check out this shop for one similar: http://www.etsy.com/listing/57088791/custom-crochet-gray-sock-monkey-hat-with
