I have been negligent in maintaining my blog as well as keeping up with Photo Challenges and Fix-It-Fridays on I Heart Faces. Oops. Then again, for the longest time I was unable to add images for some reason....
Anyway, here is a photo of the lovely Arden Prucha and her husband taken by Michelle Johnson.
Original Image:
Beautiful. It only needs a few little tweaks to really make it shine.
Color Edit:
I started with a custom levels preset to make the whole image pop, then a custom color set. I used TRA's Ying/Yang to prevent blow-outs and bring out some hidden details, then applied TRA's Big Blue and Green With Envy to make the colors pop.
B/W Edit
A very simple edit. From the color edit, I used the Photoshop Channel Mixer preset B/W with yellow filter to give it a nice soft look, then used TRA's Vignette and Blur and adjusted it so the result wasn't quite so severe.
Hot Cocoa Edit:
As much as I love black and white, I love the warmth that a deep brown gives to an image even more. A simple application of TRA's Cinnamon Toast adds just the right tint of color to the image.
I love working on these lovely images! You can find more contributions here. :)

Love the 'boldness' to your color edit!
The b/w, and hot cocoa edits are very nicely done, as well!
