ISO, Aperture, Shutter Speed: ISO 200 1/160 f/3.2
Software Used: Photoshop
Actions/Presets Used: Newborn Necessities Photoshop Actions, Eye Doctor and Dentist Photoshop Actions, Fusion Photoshop Actions
Extra Details: This was originally just an exposure test shot, before the white balance was set, but I liked it a lot, so I didn’t discard it. The beauty of shooting RAW!
I did initial WB and minor exposure adjustments in Apple Aperture.
Then took it into Photoshop and did a Levels (mid tones) and a Curves (contrast) adjustment.
Then ran One Click Color in the Fusion set at 25% and Ellie Field of Dreams at 50%.
I then ran Baby Focused from Newborn Necessities on the background to get a little more blur.
Ran Eye Doctor for sharp clear eyes and finally I added Solid Color layer (dark brown), inverted it and painted on the wall at 28% to give the wall (which was a dirty stained off white) a warm brown feel. Saved as a png (not sure if that is necessary for Show and Tell).
