Great job, RM. Did you use photoshop or anything to tinker with it? I’m still trying to figure that damn program out.

Yes, I did use Photoshop. Long ago, my day job used to be graphic design. I used Photoshop every day for years. I like to mess with my software sometimes just so I don’t get too rusty.

For this shot, here’s what I did:

I adjusted the contrast. Then I desaturated the image to make it look black and white, then I added a spotlight filter onto it at the place where it looks the lightest. Then I added a warming filter to the whole thing and cropped it square. And voila!

Too cute. I am a photoshop addict myself. I totally love it and use it every day!
