Nice tutorial! I appreciate the extra added details you put in. I knew what Luminosity and Colorburn did , but, I never thought of them as opposites. That is good to know! Been doing PS for 13 or 14 years and still learn something new, or different, almost daily! LOL
Thank you!

Thank you for the tutorial! Wonderful tips and nice to be able to follow along with the same images to get the concept of how to achieve the light in such a realistic way…even the extra strands of hair made a difference. Thanks again!

Really cool and so informative! I learned more in an hour going through this step by step than I have in the past month tinkering on my own. Fantastic!

Thank you for the lovely tutorial. I especially appreciate the close-up screen shots of the various values you would like on the Curves and other adjustment layers. They were easy to follow and your dialogue was straight forward! Thanks and Happy Holidays to you too!
