Shoot & Edit | Part 2 {Up}

Filed Under: Photography

{hover over to see my SOOC}


I first opened in Adobe ARC. Adjusted the contrast, clarity and blacks. Then I cropped to straighten the photo. I then used Pamela Toppings Enchanted action and adjusted to my liking. Then I added Kim Klassen’s Warm Sun,  Love and Mad Love Textures. Using the steps Ashley talked about.
