Welcome to another addition of Before & After Tuesdays. These are the posts where I share with you my straight-out-of-the-camera shot and tell you how I got to the final image.
This morning I was wondering what I was going to post, until Aubrey and one of our three cats, Oliver gave me an opportunity. Seeing both of them in the tub, I ran and grabbed the camera and took this quick shot. Here is what the camera saw:
As you can tell, really bad indoor bathroom lighting casts a big yellow hue across the image. Of course it probably doesn't help that our bathroom still has the original 1960's colors to it either. : )From here I imported the shot into Lightroom2.

After exporting the image from Lightroom2 and into Photoshop, I again boosted contrast and ever-so-slightly blurred the upper and lower sections of the image to bring more of the focus on Aubrey & Oliver. Finally I used a black'n'white action that I love to generate the final image:
