And another one... BEFORE

I followed Ashley's very easy to follow basic instructions (the advanced instructions were over my head!), including the unsharp mask. Look forward to next week's Shoot and Edit!

Those berries almost look like they were staged; they're so bright and popped out! Great job on the edit!

Great edits - the red really pops!

Susan said...

Wonderful edits, the brighter colors makes both pictures appear cheerier. The sky is much more vivid and I love how the white snow now sparkles. Great job!

These edits are FANTASTIC! I can't believe you have the beautiful red berries against the white snow. Our berries are all shriveled and yucky... trust me, I've looked - LOL! :-) Absolutely gorgeous!

Ooohh! I love how you brought the blue sky out more - it really makes the cherries and snow pop! Great job!

Beautiful edit - love how you make the colors pop - great crop!

For split toning (yellow and blue) in photoshop you can use adjustment layer - Color Balance.
Shadows - increase the blue and cyan (just little)
Highlights - increase the yellow (more than shadows)
