thank you so much for your kind words, raquel! this is one of my favorite color treatments to do! I start out in curves and get a nice high contrast base image with bright skintones. then I use replace color to selectively increase color saturation and change hue and brightness one area at a time. sometimes I paint on additional colors using normal or color modes with a soft brush at 5% or so. thanks for looking! ;-) #5601895Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
