I had a couple questions on my editing when I posted these pictures. So for those who care, this post is for you. And for those who don’t… well, unfortunetaly this post is for you too.

Image SOOC

  • first I lightened the image using curves.
  • then adjusted the saturation to +13.
  • His skin was looking a little too blotchy and red because it was so cold outside. So under the Selective Color Options with the red selected, I turned down the black to -30 and the magenta to -5

After I made those changes his skin still had too much of a cold, blue tone to it and it was a little too dark. So I,

  • Adjusted the image in curves again. This time just trying to lighten the shadows. Then in the red channel, I boosted the red just a touch to warm it up.
  • Then in the Color Balance I turned the red up to +11 and turn the yellow down around -20.
  • Last, I added a Soft Light in using the Layers palette and changed the opacity to 25%.
