photoshop editing before and after.

I felt like sharing an editing before and after today. I've had a few people ask me how i edit so here is a demonstration. I used to use Florabella actions and a few others, but i do all my editing myself now.

This is my before picture: straight out of camera, with minimal adjustments in ACR.

I wanted to make it warmer and golden toned so i first added a few curves layer adjustments to boost midtones and increase contrast.

Then i added a few solid color overlays in various blending modes, and masked off the skin colors at a low opacity and with a soft brush.

Then lastly, i warmed up the sky with a dark blue solid color fill set to "exclusion" blending mode, and sharpened using my previously shown techique. done!

 

Here is a before and after:
