    I don’t know anything about the recipe, but I know that the finished product was fantastic.

    I tried this recipe just like it says on the “before” photo and mine came out nothing like the “after” photo. Maybe a step was missed? Looks like someone else had the same problem. It’s a great photo and I was hoping to get the same effect on a few photos.

    I also tried this recipe on a very similar photo and it came out nothing like the above after photo. Mine was totally over exposed and extremely cool toned.

    I had better success by playing with how the layers are stacked. Also I use Warm It Up Kris vs Cool as a Cucumber. That seemed to get the skin tone and wood tones into a better spot. Then I think they ran a blur or glow at the end.
