How to...
>> August 14, 2008
Thanks for all the feedback on this post.
Since many of you wanted to know how I did it, I thought I would reply here.
Here is the original image straight out of the camera...
Using Photoshop CS3, I started by adjusting levels to get the mood I wanted in the picture. Then I got rid of the women's restroom sign and cropped the image in.
From there I processed the image using Totally Rad Actions (a birthday gift) - Boutwell's Magic Glasses to get a little more sharpness; and a couple of the textures (dirty lovin, dirt lip, dirty birdie) adjusting the opacity on each layer until I liked the finished product.
You can request a free sample of the actions here.
(The sample I received included Boutwell's Magic Glasses. You will love it!)

Hey Rhonda!
Awesome pic. I just purchased the actions last week with a friend!
They are so awesome.
Good to see your family is doing well.
My sister came in to my room and was excited that you knew about the TotallyRad actions also.
I love that action set... I've been eyeballing it myself. Awesome job on the picture. Thanks for the prayers and the links for photography books :) The eating issues have been MUCH better :)
