Fix-it Friday

It's time for another installment of Fix-it Friday.
ORIGINAL

VERSION 1
V1: In Camera Raw, I brought the temperature to +46 and tint to -28. I decreased the exposure since the addition of yellow brightens the image. Contrast +86, Clarity +61, Vibrance +24, Saturation -53. In the tone curve adjustment, I decreased the highlights and lights and increased the darks. The HSL sliders green and aqua are at -100. In Photoshop, I added more contrast and cropped closer on the image. To make her eyes stand out more, I used the dodge tool on her iris and the burn tool to darken her pupil and the outer edge of her iris.


VERSION 2
V2: In Camera Raw, I brought the temperature to +51 and tint to +56. I decreased the exposure and brightness. Contrast +79, Clarity +26, Saturation -51. In the HSL sliders H -6, L -8, D -5, S -10. In Photoshop, I adjusted the levels by moving the center slider to 1.05. Added a bit more contrast. Added a light brown vignette to the border after I cropped in on the image. To make her eyes stand out more, I used the dodge tool on her iris and the burn tool to darken her pupil and the outer edge of her iris. I also cleaned up the wall behind her using the clone tool.

VERSION 3
V3: In Camera Raw, I brought the temperature to +51 and tint to +56. I decreased the exposure and brightness. Contrast +79, Clarity +26, Saturation -51. In the HSL sliders H -6, L -8, D -5, S -10. In Photoshop, I adjusted the levels by moving the center slider to 1.05. Added a bit more contrast +29. As an adjustment layer, I changed the image to black and white and adjusted the color sliders until the grey balance was to my liking. I also changed the fill to 95% on the B&W layer. I added a dark vignette to the border after I cropped in on the image. To make her eyes stand out more, I used the dodge tool on her iris to lighten and the burn tool to darken her pupil and the outer edge of her iris. I also cleaned up the wall behind her using the clone tool.

Simply adorable!

    I like the Version 1. The way you cropped it is amazing and the colors it's like a bronze effect and desaturated effect.

I prefer to visually tell stories through photographs; whether a trip I was on, a dessert I made or a recent vintage find. Art is all around me, and I capture it whenever I can.
