After completing another 16 hours of Photoshop training (whoa nerd), I needed something to sink my teeth into.
This was a fun shot to take...mostly because we were drunk. But since this RAW file was the first thing that popped up, it's getting the overhaul.
Process:
A single exposure .CR2 (RAW) file was thrown into Photomatix and tone mapped. Tweaked it through Camera RAW via Lightroom to bump up the mid-tone contrast. Brought it into Photoshop and shellacked it with a series of Curves adjustments and layer masks. Splashed it with some super secret sauce and finished it off by mapping in some Cross Processing.
Also added another quarter cup of Kung Fu.
