Touch Up Tuesday: Rosy cheeks and red hair.

SOOC:

First edit:

My first edit: for my first edit I adjusted the levels to brighten the photo. Then, I ran the Clean action from AMP... (which I totally love) and I also sharpened things up a bit. Oh yes: I ran it through noiseware as well.

Final edit:

Final edit: For Christmas day I wanted to have a little Merry Christmas card post for my Paper Mama blog. So, I threw this together on Christmas eve. To add the red hair I added a new blank layer over the photo. I used the paintbrush tool (with a red color checked) and painted over her hair. I set that layer to Overlay and adjusted the opacity to my taste. For the rosy cheeks and red nose I added another new layer over the photo and used my red paintbrush again to paint red spots over the cheeks and nose. I adjust the opacity to my taste and I was done.


Photography love...
