I want to wish you a Happy New Year!!!
I am excited and honored to be presenting another one of Johnna's editing techniques today. If you loved Johnna's Memories of Sunshine, you can now enjoy Johnna's Tea Party step-by-step tutorial and action. As before, the images above and the editing techniques are 100% Johnna's, I just put together the action. I am thrilled that Johnna is letting me post this on my blog.
For simplicity, I made the action flatten all of the layers so you only have to adjust two layers, Johnna's Tea Party Hazy and/or Johnna's Tea Party with Contrast Boost, as seen in the layer pane image above. Simply turn on either or both layers and adjust the opacity to taste. You can have an extremely subtle or dramatic effect. I played around with both layer's opacity in the rose images below. You can also use 100% of the Hazy layer or 100% of the Boost layer.
You can use this action on color or black and white images. You can also run it twice if you want (it automatically flattens your image before running the second time). If you want to see what the action is doing so quickly, I posted Johnna's step-by-step tutorial below.
