Fix It Friday #47

This week's fix at iHeartFaces was a bit more difficult than usual, but what a sweet little girl. First in LR2 I used the auto tone preset to fix the exposure a bit. I then used the brush adjustment tool to increase the exposure around the eyes and her face. Then I opened that up in PSE6 and it was pretty grainy so I decided to have some fun with actions and textures. I used CoffeeShop Butterscotch Vintage, flattened and then used CoffeeShop Attic Vintage using the scratchy vintage texture that they suggest on their website. I used the brush tool at 50% and a not so solid brush to hide some of the texture on the girl's skin. I decided to go even further with the vintage look and used an awesome template by Penny Springmann from her All Worn Out Photograph and Paper Overlays 2.
