Started with Magic Light and Magic Dark from the Bag of Tricks action set. I added light with a low opacity brush on the face and skin to better expose the subject while adding the dark on the background and colored areas to increase overall richness.

Different then this step?

Then I did a bit of dodging and burning on the clothing and bricks to give more pop! This can be done with the dodge and burn tools, or even with the free Photoshop action, Touch of Light/Touch of Darkness…

Also is when you say blue spice is that a blue solid color with low opacity?

I’m not clear on the last step though, where you say that you “set the photo to soft light blending mode”. I am wondering which layer you set to soft light? Thanks!

My eye is drawn to her left arm though which is too red for my taste.
