I had fun with this last week, so I'm back again. Here's the original picture everyone is working on:
I did some basic editing (all editing done in Photoshop CS3) first to get it to get it to this point:
After rotating the picture, I took these steps:
1. Pro Retouch (Totally Rad Actions)
2. Used the patch tool to get rid of the tiny little white bumps that Pro Retouch can't take care of. (Not because Pro Retouch isn't AWESOME, but because the bumps were too big.)
3. the eyes (Sesame Ellis)
4. just a tiny kick (Sesame Ellis)
5. basic midtones bump (Sesame Ellis)
6. Cropped some of the blanket out.
Then, I had some fun with the picture.

Ah, the seventies action!!! One of my favorites! :) You just can't go wrong with it! I love your edits! I can never just post 1 edit either.... too funny!
I like the last one best. The blury edges are pretty cool too.
I love how nice you made the skin. The cinnamon is my favorite. I've never seen that action before. Very nice!
I think I like edit #3 the best. I really like the colors. So cute.
