Yeah, bit scatter gun if I'm honest. I imported and stacked the layers using these really simple instructions https://photography.tu​tsplus.com …th-photoshop--photo-12621 (external link) then set about doing what I usually do, so in RAW increased contrast, slightly increased exposure, cancelled the noise reduction and sharpening, converted to grayscale and applied a red filter, and then slightly adjusted exposure, contract again to tune it up, I also played with dehaze which has some pleasant side effects for non hazy pictures so well worth a try, tweeked clarity a bit, and gave it a white vignette as I was going for high key. I then came out of the RAW processor, opened Silver Efex Pro and applied 'filter 20 Fine Art high key', which changed it very little truth be told, but I did tweak the pale border a bit. All this mucking about had generated some contrast noise despite it being ISO 200 so I used the Nik Collection Dfine to get rid of the noise, then always my last thing, tweaked the sharpness in PS itself. So, just playing around really, but if you're looking for tips, play with dehaze.......
