I had a couple questions on my editing when I posted these pictures. So for those who care, this post is for you. And for those who don't... well, unfortunetaly this post is for you too.
Image SOOC
Image SOOC
- first I lightened the image using curves.
- then adjusted the saturation to +13.
- His skin was looking a little too blotchy and red because it was so cold outside. So under the Selective Color Options with the red selected, I turned down the black to -30 and the magenta to -5
After I made those changes his skin still had too much of a cold, blue tone to it and it was a little too dark. So I,
- Adjusted the image in curves again. This time just trying to lighten the shadows. Then in the red channel, I boosted the red just a touch to warm it up.
- Then in the Color Balance I turned the red up to +11 and turn the yellow down around -20.
- Last, I added a Soft Light in using the Layers palette and changed the opacity to 25%.

Thanks so much for posting what you did, I need lots of help in PS and this is great! When I saw the SOOC, I was wondering what you could do to make it better, but when I see the side-by-side, I see the difference! I always wonder what you all do to make the skin look so nice!
