Calling Photoshoppers - My Version
It was great to see the response to the Calling Photoshoppers project we featured this week (original post). I received a few suggestions that I give a shot at editing the image, so I spent a few minutes with it this morning. Here is my version.
I didn't keep a detailed list of my editing steps (like the others did so well), but I will touch on a few highlights.
- Cropped and leveled
- Removed rock (thanks Brian)
- Blended two versions of the images, one sepia and one color
- Warmed up and softened using an action
- Brightened faces
- Vignette
My goal was to create a sepia image with a subtle color on the couple (especially the jeans and her top). Similar to others, I sought to create an old-fashioned feel to the image.
So, how'd I do?
Canon 5D, Canon 70-200 f/4L lens - 1/250 second, f/5, ISO 100

Well done Rich.
You mentioned using an action to warm and soften. How many actions have you made/regularly use?
I'm a big fan of your high pass sharpen action, which is a regular in my workflow now. I'd love to hear/learn more.
The color treatment is really great! It's catchy, but not overbearing or overdone. I think in general, the warmed up desaturated look (in one form or another) really works well with this photo.
