Recipe Mondays No. 4 { Totally Rad Actions }

November 30, 2009

Hello! I realize I am posting this much later than normal and that I haven’t posted any Recipe Monday for the past two Mondays. I was terribly sick last Monday (so Recipe Monday was the furthest thing from my mind) and was in Phoenix the Monday before that. Now that I’ve explained myself, we can call it even. Let’s move on to this week’s installment of Recipe Monday: No. 4 using Totally Rad Actions !

Here is an original image of Dennis & Bebica.

Using Yin/Yang, I “Yin’ed” their faces & arms.

After flattening the image, I used the healing brush to clean up all of the skin imperfections.

Used the Pro Retouch brush to soften the skin and then reduced the opacity to 75% to keep it looking more natural.

Flare-Up (Golden) at 30% opacity.

Domnul sa te binecuvinteze :)
  8. michelle brooks - Caroline I just browsed your site and, wow. Girl. Love. It. Your work is amazing. It would be awesome if you had a phtographers category, where we who admire from afar could ask you questions about your gear, technique, etc. Anyhoo, you've inspired me.

Leave Some Love!
