Playing.


A blog I read, I Heart Faces, has an editing challenge, and this time I decided to give it a go.

I played with THIS and made THIS:


now i will try and remember what the heck i did!(I usually just play around until its not blown but its still bright and colorful)
In Lightroom...
up the contrast and brightness. add recovery. add vibrance. up the lights and darks in tonal curves.

In Elements...
defog. dodge the catchlights. burn the background. burn the highlights. a screen layer at 10%. up the contrast in levels.

i think that's it.
