I already have one of <a href=\"http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/06\/my-best-shot\/\">Nathan<\/a> and we&#8217;ve already committed that one to canvas. Now, when the time is right (money!) we can do the same for this one.<\/p>\n<p>Did you try out my Photoshop action, <a href=\"http:\/\/goodknits.com\/blog\/2011\/06\/20\/summer-haze\/\">Summer Haze<\/a>? I edited this photo with that and I have a little tip. If your photos come out slightly too cool, you can add a &#8220;Photo Filter&#8221; adjustment layer to slightly warm it back up. <\/p>\n<p>In the layers palette, just click on the little black and white circle, select &#8220;Photo Filter,&#8221; and a little dialog box will pop up. I select a color filter set to #ec6f00 and 25% density (preserve luminosity). I set that layer to 50% opacity. I find that it makes my whites warm up a bit. The purpose of the action was to make my yellows more soft, so it sometimes cools down the whole photo. This brings some of it back.<\/p>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve used the action, can you let me know what you think? I saw a beautiful set of images on Flickr that used it and was happy to see it utilized well! <\/p>\n<p>This week&#8217;s photo challenge at <a href=\"http:\/\/thepapermama.blogspot.com\">The Paper Mama<\/a> is your favorite June shot!
