i ♥ faces ~ fix-it friday - week 75

Today is Fix-it Friday over at I ♥ Faces . To edit this photo I first masked this adorable little boy and brightened him up a little using curves. Then I used one of my favorite TRA actions, Flare Up (Faded), after that all I did was bump up the red saturation a bit just to make those gorgeous fall colors pop. OH!... And I also used the POS action from TRA to blur the edges just a tad more. This is SUCH a gorgeous location!




Original photo taken by the oh-so-talented Angie Arthur!
