Summer Inspired Tutorial

Go from this
 to this
 in a few easy steps!

Works in almost all software.

- Prepare base, but do not sharpen. Sharpening will be done at the end.

- New color balance layer:

Midtones: 19, -13, -38

- New hue/saturation/lightness layer:

Saturation: +20-35

- New brightness/contrast layer:

Brightness: 10, Contrast: 7

- Merge all layers and sharpen once. Then, select Gaussian blur and set the radius to 0.30-0.45

All done! :)

Note: if you have a very dim base, you may need to increase brightness on step four.
