This week's Edit Me guest judge is Stephanie from Behind the Camera and Dreaming. She has a beautiful blog. You should click on over and take a look!
Here is her adorable SOOC photo~
And here is my edit~
This is such a sweet photo and it was a lot of fun to play with. I love those little curls. I started with a clean edit - adjusted curves a bit and brightened it up a little. The exposure was already spot on so I didn't adjust the levels. I warmed it up a little using a color balance adjustment.
Then I ran one of my favorite actions. It's the medium cross process action from World's Best Actions and it's free! For this photo I reduced the opacity of the cross process action to 30%.
I finished it off by adding some green from her dress to one side and rounding the corners with a free action from The Coffeeshop Blog.
What a great picture of a cute wee girl. Lovely.
ReplyDeleteYou have done a fantastic job of editing it. I liked the first picture but you have really warmed it up and it looks great. Well done.

ReplyDeleteYour edit is fantastic! The green on the right really balances it well.
ReplyDeleteI also really like the green bar on the side - it brings out the green in her dress - so pretty
ReplyDeleteI love how you brought out the colors and warmed it up! I am used to cross-processing meaning weird coloring, lol, so perhaps I need to look again because this is gorgeous! The color blocking and rounded corners is a nice touch, too!
