Edit:
Alright well spent about an hour or so on this edit using both adobe camera raw and photoshop cs3
Camera RAW:
- Custom WB settings with a little warmer tone
- Increased black areas to ensure colored areas showed up a little more vibrantly
- increased vibrance slightly and lowerd saturation to give it a midtonal range of colors
- Tone curve was edited similarly to the medium contrast settings
- Really worked on the Hues to set the base colors
- Added a little vignette in lens correction setting but mostly did it manually in photoshop later
- In the camera calibration settings, I only worked on the saturations of each primary to get the tones I wanted
- Saved & opened in photoshop
Photoshop:
Not really sure how to explain this part without telling you guys exactly what I did, mostly layer adjustments were made
- started out w/ gradient maps to set colors on certain parts of the shot
- increased exposure and gamma settings
- neutral colors were adjusted on relative method setting
- first set of gaus blur for the background + mask
- levels + curves + color balances
- smudge
- second set of gaus blurs + mask
- curve + mask
- sharpen + mask
- the end
