Yea! It's Friday... my favorite day of the week AND it's time for Fix-It Friday over at I ♥ Faces.
The original picture below was submitted by Jennifer. You can find her blog HERE. As you know, I LOVE photo editing. I am always trying to learn something new. I couldn't resist this baby boy's adorable face with the tear streaming down his cheek. I can only imagine why he was crying...maybe he'd rather be outside getting into all sorts of mischief. I know my kids would!
Below is the original picture.
Here is my edit:
1. Gave it an aged antique look in Lightroom 2.3, then imported image to Photoshop Elements 7.
2. Cropped picture. Cloned out crumbs on chin and runny nose.
3. Unsharp mask on irises only
3. Unsharp mask on irises only
4. Burned lashes just a touch
5. Unsharp mask on tear
6. Reduced noise
7. Softened fur just a little bit around his face
That's it!
I hope you have a fabulous weekend!




Big Kahuna and I have known each other since we were kids and have been married for almost 15 years. We are passionate about our family, travel and serving God. We love helping people and bringing them hope. We laugh ourselves to tears watching classic episodes of Saturday Night Live and The Office. Summer is our favorite season, and we live for warm evenings playing with the kids on the beach.
Big Surf is 14 years old. He's a voracious reader, focused, and spends hours building things. He is our resident techie and is also learning to play the violin. He loves to spend his free time playing baseball, flag football, or out on the trails by the house building his clubhouse.
Goofy Foot is ten years old. He devours his free reading books like there is no tomorrow. He is also the family comedian. If you see him, ask him to tell you a joke! He is tender-hearted, social and compliant. When he is not outside riding his bike, you'll find him drawing or writing a funny book.
Beach Bunny is three years old. She is our sunshine! She joined our family through the unbelievable gift of adoption. Beach Bunny loves to snuggle with us and carefully takes care of her baby dolls. She is super silly and must say hi to everyone! One word that describes her is "joy".

Hi! I love your fix. It was such a good idea to sharpen the tear and to soften the hat. Wish I had thought of that! :)
This really and truly turned out beautiful! It's hard to go wrong with cutie-pie face like that. :)
