S&E week 5 Hearts: edit

Alright, it is edit time. So here is my SOOC shot for the hearts theme this week.
For my edit I pretty much followed all the previous weeks edit hints, I first ran the picture through Noiseware, then opened in RAW and adjusted. Then moved to PSE and did a color adjustment, then duplicated my background and did a high pass filter, and then the general layers (and also adjusted my reds, blues and greens like Ashley prompted us to do this week), brightness and contrast and hue/saturation. I then did another background duplication and soft light at 25% and then I ran Pioneer Woman's free action called Lovely and Ethereal and bumped it down a little too. It is really nice action for portraits (I think so at least). Finally I ran her Bring Out the Eyes action too and bumped it way down. So that was my edit for this week. Oh I also cropped the picture too. I really like the way it turned out!


And then lowering both my greens and yellows (thanks Ashley).

I think your edit looks really sweet - you may still want to turn down your yellows (and even greens) just a tad. Sometimes applying an action can recreate colors that we've previously turned down. I'm extra sensitive to it since I've had problems with my yellows/greens/reds in the past. Nicely done.
