this photo just looked like a cameo to me and so I attempted to transform it into one.
As always I work in layers..
The usual levels and curve adjustments a little over done to bring out greater contrast and smoothness to the face. Copied the red chanel and pasted into a new layer changing the blending mode to overlay. This reduced the color intensity. Repeated once more to intensify the image and lowered the opacity to taste. Merged layers.
New larger canvas with background color. Copied image onto new canvas. Created frame on a new layer using frame shape. Placed frame into position over image. Selected frame, inversed selection, highlighted image layer and deleted everything that extended beyond the frame.
