Tassie beach at Christmas - Purple Rain Saturation

[bratha]

Hi All,

Below are a couple of shots that I took in Wynyard and Boat Harbour in Tasmania over Christmas.

I've made my own action, I call it Purple Rain Saturation, that I often apply as a starting point for photographs such as these. It basically adds a magenta fill layer, a sepia desaturation layer, a contrast adjustment layer and a layer that lowers saturation.

I usually play around with specifics of all the levels after this, but I like having it as a starting point, to get a consistent look across a series of photos.

Okay, that's all greek to me, but I like your photos.

I am kind of with Leona here but it would be great if I lived close enough to somebody who could walk me through some of these things
