Extra Details: I adjusted white balance, exposure, highlights, and shadows in Lightroom. Once the image looked just right, I exported it to Photoshop. I ran the Color Fusion Mix and Match action set and turned on Heartfelt (in addition to One Click Color). I lowered the opacity of Heartfelt to about 20%. I also masked off her body on the the vignette layer. I added a curves adjustment layer to make very minor adjustments to her skin tone based on lessons learned in the MCP Color Fixing Class.

Next, I flattened the entire image and ran Exact-o-Sharp to sharpen her eyes slightly. I lowered the opacity substantially. I flattened again and then used a combination of the cloning tools to lightly touch her skin up and lighten blemishes, at the family’s request.
