“If you carry your childhood with you, you never become older.” – Tom Stoppard
Well what I did was as follows:
1. Sharpened in Lightroom 5 slightly.
2. Transfered to Photoshop cc
3. KKbrush used colour burn @ 85% opacity.
4. Duplicated the background layer, screen @ 20% opacity
5. Duplicated the background layer, soft light @ 30% opacity
6. kk_OhMy, multiply @ 25%
7. kk_LittleThings, multiply @35% opacity.
8. kk_LittleThings, Darken @ 35% opacity.
The pre shot is here , as you can probably tell I have just brightened it slightly and added the text, I quite liked the golden tones of the straight out of camera shot and just wanted to enhance it slightly.

Beautiful image and great tutorial! Excellent images on your blog for a coffee table book…

The “how I processed” posted here is really useful. Thanks for including that. I am not familiar with a couple of the final tools you mention that you used (kk_OhMy and kk_LittleThings). Can you explain what they are and why you used those in this situation?

Thank you Jack, the kk at the start refers to Kim Klassen’s textures (http://kimklassen.com/), after the underscore is the name of the texture I used by her. I chose these two textures for their colour tones as I wanted to add a little warmth, without distracting from my image and did not want to just add a flat colour layer. I am not keen on heavy photo manipulations and texture work, I am really just playing with them at the moment to see what I can achieve with them.
