Alrighty then! So now that I have given you a REAL Recipe earlier today, I’ll bet you didn’t think I would post a Rad Actions recipe as well, did you? Lucky for you, I had TWO treats in store for you today and now here is my sixth installment of Recipe Mondays using Totally Rad Actions!
Here’s the original of a beautiful baby boy I shot a couple of weeks back.
Adjusted the curves via Photoshop CS4.
Yin/Yanged around the eyes a little.
I then flattened the image and clone stamped the background to remove the black part of the background.
I then used the Yin/Yang tool again and “Yin’d” the background to get rid of the dark splotches.
Boutwell Magic Glasses at 60% opacity.
Flatten the image once again and desaturate in Photoshop.
Milk & Cookies at 35% opacity. Then turn down the TWEAK! to 50% and the highlight pinch down to 70%.
Now do Boring Selenium at 40% to give it a warmer black & white tone.
So now here’s your before & after. What do you guys think? I’d love to hear your thoughts!!
