This edit is of my image known as, "Water Rising", located here on deviantart: http://temperate-sage.deviantart.com/art/Water-Rising-288926622 Modeling and image work by Harmony Sage, also known as Temperate-Sage.

In this beauty image retouch I will show you how to take a backlit blue/cyan image and show you how to light it up and give it a slightly more golden and glowing look. This image comes from my "Denim Princess" photo series and features a high fashion full length denim ball gown. This Jean Dress was an excellent for photography and made for some really fun images. This image besides back lit fixing also helps with model retouch and fantastical color correction in a forest. There is always a better photo hiding under the surface and this how to will help you find it. =)

I edit in Adobe Photoshop CS5, there are tool equivalents for most of the things I use in other softwares such as GIMP.

In case you missed them, here are some of the main tool paths I used in this tutorial:
Image - Adjustments - Levels
Image - Adjustments - Curves
Image - Adjustments - Selective Color
Image - Adjustments - Color Balance
Image - Adjustments - Brightness and Contrast
Tool Bar - Heal Brush - Content Aware
Tool Bar - Burn - (midtones and darks)
Tool Bar - Dodge - (midtones and brights)
Key Board Short Cuts:
ctlr + - : Zoom out
Ctlr + + : Zoom in
Ctlr + [ : make brush smaller
Ctlr + ] : make brush larger

I am a photographer/retoucher and dressmaker living in Portland, OR. I have a passion for fairytale, fantasy, and mythical aesthetics and want to help others find that touch in their works as well! Outside of the arts, I have a love of natural sciences and the outdoors in general. With these passions combined, I like to take my shoots and projects to the great outdoors.
