Vivid Color edit

Before and After Edit and How to

I know some of you will like the before and some the after but I wanted to do a short post on how to achieve this edit. I like for some images and I hope you can get something out of it.

Disclaimer: You should be familiar with Photoshop or you will think I'm speaking Greek. ;)

Okay first things first: To create a separation of the subject and the background you do this:
Duplicate your layer~ Filter~Blur~Gaussian Blur~ ( I like it at 10 for this)
add a mast to this layer and erase off of the subjects.

Step two:
Choose Hue and Saturation and lets lift up the Saturation just a bit.

Step Three: Create an S Curve on your curves layer

You could just add the S Curve adjustment if you wanted to like in my example.

* to make it curve you just click on the line and pull it to the desired level. try to make yours look like mine when you do this edit.
