Tonight i had time to work on a couple of older images. Still waiting on my new GPU to arrive that hopefully would allow me to capture screen without impact on PS performance so i can share it with you and get more in video content creation (and some gaming of course lol). My old video card for some reason stopped recording desktop through relive after software update and i was lazy to look for a solution online, since i have a lot on house reconstruction side allready. Well, i needed to update my video card anyway.
My initial intention was to take two images with a similar light setup and illustrate how introduction of a single accessory can change the mood and final look. So i started with the editing process but i did it in a destructive manner, meaning that i did not save color editing layers and flattened image a few times.

After a few failed attempt to get the colors match in both shots i gave up and just went with the monochrome color grading. It is wonderful how a single small detail such as sunglasses can change the feel of the shot. Monochrome grading also added to a more gritty look as well.
