i ♥ faces - fix-it Friday

It's been a while since I've participated in this challenge (January to be exact!)  I couldn't pass up the pic though - these twins are adorable!

I'm not super super happy with my edits but they are something different....i tried a few different crops and some presets.

Fix 1: I adjusted the exposure and cropped it down then applied the PH Soft & Dreamy preset.  I also used the soften skin brush to try to get rid of some of the mottling on the skin.

Fix 2: Same crop, same exposure settings, this time I used the NKYF Subdued preset

Fix 3: Original crop (or rather, no crop), NKYF Subdued again with some skin softening.

Fix 4: Not entirely happy with this but I figured I'd show it anyways.  Cropped, adjusted exposure, Abby's HiKey LoSat wash, adjusted fill light, brightness, black clipping and highlights.  I tried skin soften but it just didn't work.  I suppose I can desat some of the red to cool off the skin mottling...

There are a lot of really neat fixes, just head over to i ♥ faces to check them out!
