So today I wanted to show you a few steps I took to edit the above picture! I used 2 purchased actions for Adobe Photoshop as well so read along to find out where you can grab these lifesavers.
Here is the original.
First I bumped up the contrast and turned the brightness down a bit in Image- Adjustments- Brightness/Contrast.
Next I applied Shannon Lee Miller Photography's custom film action called "BONUS" (find it HERE). I applied it at 70% opacity and then turned down the brightness again at Image- Adjustments- Brightness/Contrast.
Next I applied the K Miller Action Panis Rahl (find it HERE) at 70% opacity. And that's it! It's done! What do you guys think? I wanted to give the image a cool tone because it was a winter shoot and I wanted it to appear cold without there actually being snow. Be sure to check out these awesome actions! They have been used a lot frequently.
I love this so much!!

I love your photos so much and I especially love how you edit them. Really unique!! :) I have a couple questions for you if you don't mind lol.
1) Do you shoot in raw?
2) If so do you edit the photo at all in ACR and do you edit solely with Photoshop?
