Fix-It Friday #34 - Hands-On Photo Editing Fun!

It's time for another Fix-It Friday here at I Faces!! This is our day to learn new photo editing tricks from our contributors as they explain how they “fixed-up” the special photo we gave them. The fun part is that we then all get to play along with the Fix-It ourselves!

We'd like to thank our very own Dana Suggs (I Faces contributor and author of From Chaos to Grace) for providing this special Halloween photo for our "Halloween Dress-Up" week!

I couldn't resist playing along with this one! Dana - your photo was gorgeous. :)

All of the edits are so bright and crisp and clear. The scrapbook page is adorable and fits the setting perfectly. Thank you so much to all of our contributors for the time they spend teaching us new things each week!

I loved editing this one. It's much easier to fix up an already beautiful shot than trying to give face lifts to my own shoddy pictures. What a cute girl!
