My 1st Fix-it-Friday

Here it is my first "Fix it Friday" from iheartfaces. Since this is my first one I must say I got really caught up with what I was doing before I realized how I was doing it but I will try my very best to recall how I got this this final image using CS4

Before:


After:
image provided by: Susan Keller for iheartfaces Fix It Friday

Well first of all I cropped out the undesirables (ie: the electrical box and the light pole) so that the focus would just be on the young boy. 

Next I used one of my favorite actions that I got from a free demo over at Totally Rad! called Boutwell Magic Glasses. 

From here this is where things start to get a little blurry...
I have a collection of free actions from deviantART I started clicking my different options till I found one I liked and from what I remember it was from this set right here and I believe it was number 5 that I used...

Form there I did a bit of tweaking to levels and added a tiny touch of vibrancy to the image. Oh a burned the edges a touch.

and I believe that was how I got to the  after image in today's Fix it Friday.

Thank you both :-)

Yeah totally rad rocks and if I could afford it I would totally purchase all of their actions but for now I just have to be happy with their "demos"
