I decided to let Kayla jump on her bed and take some pictures with my Fong Collapsible light diffuser that I got for Christmas to try it out. I like the diffused light! Unfortunately, I didn't like the background and Kayla's particularly rosy/blotchy after-bath face - so I decided to play with some black and white settings. I used mostly MCP Actions (love them!) in Photoshop.

Final Edit
 |
| Another from the bed jumping session, she was having fun :) |
|
My edits are as follows all in Photoshop:
- Cleaned up blotches with spot healing brush
- Ran the Eye Doctor action from MCP Actions
- Ran Snap action from MCP Actions
- Desaturated
- Added a layer, screen mode
- Added a layer, Soft Light mode
- Applied vignette with lens correction filter
I much prefer the black and white, I wasn't a huge fan of the original shot, but the B&W hides alot. :)
Linking up this week!
