My Friday Fix in a Square!

I never participate in these Fix it Fridays but today I thought, what the heck... I'll do it. I am in the mood. LOL I think this is my first time participating. =) I didn't think to save the steps so let me see if I can remember what I did to this. A LOT for sure. It had too much yellow for my taste and no matter how much I tried, I couldn't get rid of it. LOL That's still a challenge for me but ok... I opened it up on PS, fixed the color balance. Not too much blue or green or yellow. What looked balanced to "my eye". After that, I played with the "levels". Added a little curve. Flattened. Color balanced again. Ran an action on it, played with the opacities. Added a Saturation layer. Played with that. Then I cropped it into a square. Too much distration for me in the background. I think it took away from the beautiful baby's face. So I cropped it and made it focus on her cute little face! And voila! That is my edit.

And here's my FINAL edit. Not perfect but better.
