An unfortunate thing happened in cyberspace with regards to my beloved I Heart Faces “Fix-It Friday.” Here’s what their website says, “We have recently learned of a copyright infringement concerning a photo that was used for a past FIF. The original photographer of that particular photo found her image being used in the sample products of a digital download that was listed for sale on eBay.”
Unfortunately, this means that the I Heart Faces community (including myself) won’t be able to edit photos from other community members…only from the official (professional) contributors. Nonetheless, a little copyright infringement isn’t going to hold me down, but this is a reminder to everyone to watermark you photos! I personally stamp some sort of watermark on every photo I publish to my website with the exception of Fix-It Friday (I do this to protect the contributors to my before and after posts), but today’s message has me thinking that I should create a separate watermark for Fix-It Friday purposes too. I’ll work on that for next week.
In the meantime, this photo was sent in by Andrea Riley and compliments this week’s theme (BAREFOOT) so well. Here’s the before:
Like so many others, after running the RAW photo through ACR, I decided that I preferred a horizontal crop on this image. I opened the photo in PSE7 and applied Amy McMaster’s Squeaky Clean and Berries ‘N Cream before laying on two textures (Heaven’s Blush from Shadowhouse Creations I think and Timeworn Soft from Paint the Moon). Finally, I applied an action called Ephermeral for a nice glow-like finish.

Have a great day!
