Hey Adam, as with all Photoshop techniques there are at least 8 different ways to achieve the same, or similar results. And, as yours works, there are such things as destructive and non-destructive editing. To begin, you should capture in RAW format, and then to color correct, use levels and curves but only in a new layer. Layers and masks are the MOST valuable tools in PS because they are reversible and savable.
when i make the 2 layers and edit each of them. when i erase stuff from one layer, it just comes up as white and it doesnt show the other layer. how can i fix this?
I had the same problem, when you go in to the eraser tool and you go to change the brush size it says master diameter and then below it it says hardness turn the hardness alll the way down see if that does the trick, hope it works for ya
Its Hugo, from Perú. I was at casuarinas, that day when you were taking thouse pictures.
When i first saw them i was wouldering how you made them, well now we all know!. That day I tape Lois, James and you with mi little camara(not like the one you have) and i post them on my facebook.
Hey Adam, a thing I do with my photos is duplicate the layer and set the top one to overlay, then adjust the opacity to desired level. Creates a cool effect.
LR is made pretty specifically for editing, and batch editing raw data images. It's kindof a replacement for photomechanics. PS is more intensive for creating from scratch and layouts etc and breaking down your images, retouching etc.
Thank you Adam you rock!!!

Or you could find a lonely homeless Photoshop CS4 and take it back to your computer and give it a good home... cough piratebay cough.

They way you edited that image added effects directly to the image, therefore destroying it, especially when in Jpeg format.

@ CocaCooler,
You should leave the background at baselayer, don't cut in that one.
Open photo's with a transparent background instead of white, so if you decide to cut in a layer, the can show the layer behind it in the erased area.
Does that answer your question?
