Who Needs a Kiss-Photo 40

Apparently there’s another holiday around the corner…. At least that’s what the bag of chocolates says.

 

How about a Kiss!

ISO 1000 ƒ/3.2 T 1/100

The original image was poorly lit by the dining room chandelier as you can see in this saved jpg from the RAW file:

Very nice yellow cast that doesn’t look very good. I did notice this in the camera but was too lazy to grab a strobe and light it better, I wanted to see what I could do in post. So heres my initial edits in Aperture(Mac App Link):

Better, but I wanted to mess around in Perfect Photo Suite 6:

I then returned the image back to Aperture and removed the yellow cast some more with a white balance adjustment and used the Sharpening brush on the foil and a final crop to get rid of some extra space.
