Getting the Hand-tint Look with Photoshop

I love the style of this encaustic-tinted vintage photo.

So I found some instructions on the world wide web to do it in Photoshop. This is the first picture I did, so it's not super-good, but it was so fun to "color" my family picture. I felt like a little girl with her new box of Crayolas, picking colors that look vintage and making it look hand-tinted.

Your photo looks great! I would have thought you'd taken up photo tinting by hand, a lost art. But you let the trick out of the bag.
