This photo originally didn’t turn out very nice at all and I really liked it.  Here is the original photo.  You can see how a little editing and sometimes an action here and there can save what you think is a horrible photo and turn it into something beautiful.

I first had to straighten the photo in photoshop and when I rotated it, there were white areas at the corners on the bottom layer.  I then carefully used the clone stamp tool to make those areas black.  Then I cropped the photo and  decided to play with some of Coffee Shop’s actions.  This one is called Expresso.  On the first photo, it’s just the Expresso action alone and on the 2nd photo, I ran the Expresso action and then the Coffee Shop Burn on top.  Now I can’t decide which one I like best.
