Editing photos - a blueprint


Almost every photo that I post here is edited in some way or another - even if it is only a bit of sharpening.  I thought I'd show you how I do it, so here is a list of what I did for this particular picture.  I have bought several actions from Paint the Moon that help a lot and she has some freebies on facebook.  I love her actions!  I use Photoshop Elements 9.

In order - here's what I did:

-lighten shadows
-spot healing brush - erase the bruise on his head
-brighten
-adjustment layer
-PTM baby soft skin 
-PTM twinkle eyes
-PTM vanilla pop
-PTM portrait sharpen at 40%
-crop

How do you edit?  Do you use actions?
