I was playing around with an image shot last summer and thought this was pretty cool.



Steps taken were:

* Converted to B&W using channel mixer adjustment layer
* Contrast imcreased using levels adjustment layer
* Used a 'Soft Light' layer (50% grey) to burn corners (perhaps too much but I like it)
* Added three overlay layers with colours to produce tones. Adjusted opacity to suit
* Resized image and copied into new image 4 times for each colour tone

What do you all think?

Nice idea; I like that vignette too.
I wonder what the same would be but with a tight crop on just the hands and navel(not being pervy here, but thinking the image would have quite a marked impact)

Kerridwyn: Thanks for the link...interesting stuff there but at the moment I still prefer doing everything by hand. Call me crazy if you want!

Zig: Something like this?

Wow, that's great!
