I love Pioneer Womans Actions as well as MCP Actions.

So I wanted to share a few of my before and afters with you. (After posting I realized this isn’t EXACTLY the same shot, but goes with the 4:30am editing)

Before:

After:

One Click Color by MCP Actions at 40% – Lovely and Etherical at 100% by Pioneer Woman Actions – Selective Sharpening turned up to 80%

Then here’s baby girl:

Before:

And After: One Click Color again/ Raised exposure in Camera Raw and used MCP’s Magic Powder

I should have lightened up around her eyes some more but oh well….it was 4:30 this morning and I couldn’t sleep.

Here’s one more but I couldn’t tell you what I did!! I just love her hair in this one. It needs a little more work but here it is anyway….

Before:

After:

I had such high plans of this being a great tutorial but my early morning wakefulness got the best of me.

Enjoy anyway!

A little Photoshop!

I’ve been playing with some new techniques with Photoshop and wanted to show you the end results. I’d love to tell you all I did but I was interrupted so many times I don’t know where to begin.

Cropping, Clone Stamp and some Camera Raw adjustments and here you go.

Before:

After: (no kids in background, no gatorade on ground, no poly cone). One photo I did not center him but he likes them centered so I did this one for him. Usually, he’s left or right of center.

So go play with Photoshop! I love the YouTube tutorials! This one is my new fav because I shoot with a high ISO at times to capture the action on the football field. It reduces NOISE or all those annoying speckles.
