A Boy’s Story {Fix-It Friday}

Angie Arthur Photography Collage

Fix-It Friday was delayed in being posted this week because I was at a school event with this little guy.  A school event that I completely forgot about until he was walking out the door and said “See you at school pretty soon Mom!!”

Ack!

We had great fun together though and I’m thinking the delay was worth it.  :)

My Photoshop Steps:
1| Open in Camera RAW and adjust the temperature slider (making the photo warmer overall)
2| While in Camera RAW go to the HSL/Grayscale button and then adjust the Reds slider in the “Hue” section
3| Open photo in Photoshop CS5
4| I always run Noiseware over my photos first…it usually gets rid of any bit of noise for me
5| Pioneer Woman’s free Boost action (adjust the opacity to approximately 20%)
6| Pioneer Woman’s free Fresh & Colorful Action. I opened the action after it ran and adjusted the Soft Light layer to 25% and then closed the action and adjusted the opacity down just a bit overall.
7| Soft Color Pop from Florabella’s Color and Haze Action Set (adjusted the opacity on this one to around 13% or less)
8| Sweet Sunshine from Florabella Luxe (adjusted to taste)
9| P.O.S. from Totally Rad Actions (I turned off most of the layers so that it was just down to the blur and vignette layers being on and then I adjusted the opacity of each)
10| Pioneer Woman’s Slight Sharpen
