Colby was not in the modeling mood, but this picture is still a keeper, like most of my favorites from a shoot, I look at it and think what might make it better, then I get to playing. First thing is I removed the little scratch near his eye in about a second using the healing brush. His eyes are obviously the focus of this picture, so I made a selection with just his eyes and made a separate layer to run the sharpening action I have. I wish I could remember the exact numbers for this action, Scott Kelby teaches this particular action in his book 7 Point System book.
Next I used the color selection tool to select the face, and I added a little gaussian blur, really he didn't need it, but I did it for the purpose of this touch up work flow. Next, I turned it to my black and white. It's the same process as I mentioned in a previous post with the addition of a hue set to #30 to make it a little warmer.
