Default How to do this post processing?

Does anyone know how to touch up the picture #2 (first right), #4(leg and drawer) #6 (kissing on yellow chair) from this website?
Chelsea + Dylan – Santa Monica Engagement Session Natalie Williams Blog

The color is very pop/vivid while the skin looks glamor. I believe the tone is called vintage. I have been trying to achieve similar but failed. If anyone knows how to do it, would you mind to share it?
Thanks in advanced.

Willy

Default Hey

Hey Willy,

I'm also new in post processing, but what software do you use? You can try lightroom3, and download finish "glamour-preset" to lightroom. And if you want to go further...download NIK software - Color Efex pro, really easy and nice presets.

btw, I dont think these pictures are "vintage" profile...

There doesn't seem to be too much done in the way of heavy PP in these in my opinion. If anything, they look like the individual saturation channels have been adjusted and not much else... bump the contrast, then decrease the red channel saturation to wash out the skin while enhancing the yellow or green or blue or whatever to pop them...

really nice images, well exposed for their projected PPing style.

@Crackhead: I use both Lightroom and Photoshop. I got NIK color effect from wacom but haven't give it a try yet.
@Niresangwa: Thanks for the tips.I never play around with individual saturation channel. Not sure what I'm afraid of. I was using split tone in lightroom instead. It seems make sense if you increase the individual channel. I'll give it a try.

Thanks!!!
