Learn to use Photoshop actions to make skin smoother, eyes brighter and fix the exposure of your images.
While ideally you want the perfect photo in camera, most images need a little lift from a digital darkroom with photo editing and retouching. MCP customer Leigh Williams was in Virginia Key in Miami when she snapped this image of her daughter.
I am showing two options with this image. Her edit and then my edit. As always there is no correct or incorrect, just different ways to edit the same image.
Leigh’s edit:
Her before and after Blueprint edited used a few manual steps along with our retouching actions: The Eye Doctor and Magic Skin. Plus she used the Free Photoshop action: Touch of Light/Touch of Darkness. Detailed steps on how Leigh accomplished this fashionable edit are below the before and after shots.
Jodi (MCP Actions) edit:
I started by using the Fusion Set to correct overall exposure and to give the photo a distinct look. Then I finished by merging and retouching the image using The Eye Doctor and Magic Skin’s Powder Your Nose. I also did selective lighting with Touch of Light. Below my image, an exact step-by-step list is available so you can try and replicate this look on your photos.

I like your crop but prefer the more natural feel of Leigh’s. Both are very nice.
