All Too Well.
Playing with colors. How I missed taking photographs and Photoshop! And yay! Say hello to my favorite arm candies at the moment! :)
By the way, All Too Well from Taylor Swift’s newest album has to be one of her best songs of all time, well atleast for me.
And when the storms will come sailing high, I’ll take your hand and collide it with mine..
I’ve been practicing lately with manipulating portraits, because I might use it in the future. You know, if I want to be serious with photography, I need a lot of skill with enhancing portraits, which is by the way not my forte at all. Or something I don’t have interest to not until now. Anyway, practice makes it better. And yes, I know, photographers shouldn’t just rely with Photoshop, that’s true, but let’s face it, Photography and Photoshop/Lightroom works better, together. :)
Just practicing photoshop since I haven’t used it for quite sometime, I mean, other than post processing photos. I need to restore all my knowledge pretty soon. Ugh! I don’t wanna go back just yet. :(
Soft Pink - PS Action
Here you go guys! For those people who were asking me for a downloadable PS action for this effect - request granted. I just want to remind you that every photograph is different, so there’s a big possibility that you will have a different outcome even if you use the same technique/action that I have used to achieved this one. Always remember, learning the basics in photoshop is far more important, so you better work on that more. And the rest will come out naturally when it comes to editing. Enjoy! :)
Tutorial: How to crack Adobe Photoshop CS5

- First of all download a trial version. You can get one here: https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=photoshop&loc=en_us If you already have one, then proceed to the next step.

Warm Vintage Feel Tutorial
I know most of you guys are wondering how some aspiring/amateur/pro photographers get that warm vintage feel. Ofc, there are lot of other ways to achieve it, but this is how I do it with my photos. It isn’t my favorite technique though. I am using Adobe Photoshop CS3 btw.
I’ll be using this photograph for this tutorial. You can save it to your computer if you want, so you can follow this tutorial using the same stock.
After you open the photo in photoshop, make a new layer. Fill it with this color #fbf2a3. Set the layer’s property to Multiply. Adjust the opacity to 40%. (Note: If you’re going to edit your own photo, the opacity’s percentage can be altered.)
Make a new layer again. Fill it with this color #ac56b3 this time. Set the layer’s property to Screen. Then the opacity to 30%. 
If you’re still not satisfied with the outcome. You can play woth the color balance a little to get your desired final result! It’s so easy right? Hope it helps guys! *starrrr
