My Actions

I am so excited to announce that I am now selling my photoshop actions!

People are always asking me how I edit my photos to get them looking the way they do. And honestly in the past, I couldn’t say that there was a consistent process in my workflow. I had a bunch of different actions and would end up running them and then tweaking things or changing things to get the image to look just how I wanted it.

One thing that always bothered me was that some actions literally take ages to run because there are so many steps in them. I am a “keep it simple” girl and I believe in making things quicker and easier so that we all can spend more time away from the computer. My actions are right to the point and run very quickly (just how I like them).

I have spent the past months perfecting my actions and fine-tuning them so that they give me nice consistent results every time – without a lot of time and effort. And I am excited to finally be at a point where I can share them and help you get the same look with your photos!!

I am starting with the release of my Vintage Action Set and my Color Action Set.

The Vintage Action Set includes 3 different actions that will give your images that old, worn, vintage look that we are all loving right now.

The Color Action Set includes 3 color actions along with a bonus action called “lighten up” which brightens your dark or underexposed images before you run the other actions. I have included my Simple Color Boost action that I use it on all of my every-day photos when I want a little punch without spending a lot of time.

The actions can also be used together as the sample below shows to get even more looks for your photos.

Click on the links to the left for all of the details or to purchase my actions! Thanks to everyone I have talked to about this for believing in me and for giving me the encouragement to take this leap! I asked a handful of people to try out my actions before I started selling them and I have been absolutely in awe over their response and their kind words and support!

I will continue to show more samples using my actions in the coming weeks and I would also love to see what you do with them so please share!!

    Thanks for helping me to acquire new suggestions about personal computers. I also hold the belief that one of the best ways to maintain your notebook computer in perfect condition has been a hard plastic case, or perhaps shell, that fits over the top of the computer. A majority of these protective gear will be model precise since they are made to fit perfectly over the natural casing. You can buy them directly from the vendor, or from third party places if they are designed for your laptop computer, however not every laptop can have a spend on the market. Just as before, thanks for your points.

One delusion in particular would be the fact the bank wants your house. Your banker wants your dollars, not the home. They want the amount of money they gave you along with interest. Keeping away from the bank will only draw a new foreclosed final result. Thanks for your write-up.

    Thanks for your article. Another thing is that just being a photographer requires not only issues in capturing award-winning photographs but also hardships in getting the best camera suited to your requirements and most especially problems in maintaining the standard of your camera. It is very real and noticeable for those photography addicts that are in capturing the nature’s exciting scenes — the mountains, the actual forests, the wild or maybe the seas. Visiting these exciting places surely requires a photographic camera that can surpass the wild’s hard environments.

    Thanks for the new stuff you have discovered in your blog post. One thing I would like to comment on is that FSBO human relationships are built over time. By bringing out yourself to the owners the first weekend their FSBO can be announced, ahead of masses start calling on Wednesday, you develop a good association. By mailing them tools, educational elements, free reviews, and forms, you become a strong ally. If you take a personal affinity for them and their situation, you make a solid interconnection that, many times, pays off when the owners opt with an adviser they know as well as trust — preferably you actually.
