It's Friday and time for Fix-It Friday over at iHeartFaces. This weeks photo is of an adorable little boy with a contagious grin! There were a few issues with this photo and I made one initial fix in PSE 5.0 to deal with those things before getting creative. In the first fix, I adjusted the lighting (the inital photo was too dark). I also tried to fix the skin tone and blown out areas. Finally, I sharpened the eyes and reduced the noise.Here is the original photo and my first fix for a side by side comparison.
Here are my other fixes:
For this fix, I added a Guassian Blur. I like the dreamy look - especially with kids.
For this fix, I bumped up the contrast.
Just an ordinary black and white conversion.
For the final fix, I played with the B&W conversion while leaving the color in his eyes and lips. The lips ended up being a bit too pick, so I created another layer and desaturated. Finally, I added a bit of pink back into the cheeks.Make sure you check out some of the other fixes out over at iHeartFaces.

I like your bumped up contrast edit...but I am learning that I am drawn to high contrast in photos. Nice job on all the edits.
