Touch Up Tuesday

I adjusted the white balance and the lighting in RAW then ran coffeeshops perfect portrait action. Then ran the color border action at 0pxs. I use that because it flattens, rounds the edges, sharpens for the web and you can resize all at once. How do you like my new watermark?

I posted the preview from 1 out of the 4 photo sessions from this past weekend here.
