Editing a Springtime Beauty

Before:

After:

Photo Equipment & MCP Actions™ Products Used

Software Used: Photoshop
Actions/Presets Used: Eye Doctor and Dentist Photoshop Actions, Fusion Photoshop Actions
Extra Details: I used MCP Fusion, and also MCP Eye Doctor Actions
First I extracted the baby from the original image with the lasso tool, and placed her onto my new background the sunflower field. I also cut out a bench from another photo and placed that behind her along with the single sunflower photo taken from my garden. Then I removed any excess from the old photo around the baby and de-fringed her. Now to the actions, I used MCP Fantasy at 25%, Ellie’s Field of Dreams 15%, dodge and burn tools, Sun Flare from the left top corner, Eye Doctor with edits. It’s supposed to look more artsy, hence the intense eyes, then lastly Web Resize.
