Fix it Friday #47

As always note, I did not take the Photo I just edited it. Photo above is the before, and below is my edit. Directions as to what I did are below photos.


What I did:1) Take picture into iPhoto and change exposure to .76, contrast to 47, and saturation to 73.2) Put levels so your light side is equal to 77%, light tab will be about half way between the edge and the middle marker, gray tab will be half way between dark marker and middle tab. Leave the dark marker where it is.3) Go to effects and do +2 Fade color and +1 antique.4) Save and take picture into photoshop.5) Add new layer and apply texture, I used the CHAOS texture found here. Yes the texture is free. 6) Apply the texture on top of image, you shouldn't be able to see the image now. Change your blend mode to Overlay, and your Fill to 76% and Opacity to 92%, now you can see the image.7) Apply Clipping Mask: I got the mask for free here. Sorry I cannot find the direct link. It's a vintage mask and it has 3-4 masks in the set. Apply mask over image and then hold the ALT key and hover over the line separating the texture and clipping mask. Now you'll be able to see through the mask.8) Round corner action. This step was a bit tricky for me because I have never used actions before. I got the action to round corners for free here. I downloaded it and installed it, and then I had to individually select each layer and apply the action that way. If there is an easier way to do this then please LEAVE A COMMENT telling me how! I was so lost and would much appreciate your help! When the pop up menu comes up for each layer during the action make sure the number is always 100 pixels and just keep hitting enter until it is done. 9) Save image and submit to iheartfaces.
