I was browsing through some images from last summer and I came across one that I had saved to edit at a later date.  Some serious adjustments were needed, so I put it off.  I worked a little PS magic on it and this is what I ended up with….

I tell you, I love the liquify tool!   B’s little cheeks were all misshapen from gravity, but liquify put her pretty face back together.

Gosh…now that I think of it, I would hate to see the freeze frame of my face on the trampoline.

Here is the before….

And if you’re wondering, here’s what I did….

• Liquify tool on the her cheeks to rectify the gravity pull
• Clone tool to even skin
• Selective color to remove color casts from grass
• Pool Party 50%
• Flare Up Faded 29%
• Not So Magic Glasses 100%
• Red filter 100%
• Clare-ify 15%
• Selective Hue/sat adjustment
• Oh Snap 51%
• Prettyizer 45%
• Sharpen
