I Heart Faces - Fix-it Friday



Well, it is my first time participating in I Heart Faces - Fix it Friday. There are always so many wonderful edits, I just have never jumped in with them.

Having really been trying to work on my editing skills, I thought I would give it a try this week. Practice, practice, practice is what I have been doing lately.

This was just another perfect opportunity for practice. Below is the original photo. Is he not cute just the way it is? You can just tell he is full of personality.



Now, here is my edit version. I really hated to crop out most of his lovely hair, but I just loved his eyes and I wanted them to be more of the focus.



I currently am using Photoshop Elements 6, one day I would love to move up, but for now, it fits the bill.

Next time I play along I will record what I did to get to my end result. For now, you will just have to look at, the before and after.

Go check out all the wonderful edits, it really is a fun way to learn.

Thanks for stopping by.

Beautiful edit! Glad you joined the fun! :O) I look forward to seeing more edits from you in the future....
I have PSE 4.0 and would love to upgrade also. I am finding that I can do an amazing # of things even with PSE though. Hope you have fun as you continue to learn your program! :o)
