So, my husband gave me my birthday gift today instead of tomorrow. He’s great. And guess what it is???
None other than the amazing Totally Rad Action Mix, compliments of Boutwell Studio.
It’s basically some photoshop presets for pictures. Now, I do dabble in graphic design and am familiar with the Adobe series of programs, but photoshop I am by far the least friendly with. Thanks to their helpful tutorial, I’ve learned how to actually work my birthday gift! I have a long, long way to go, but I thought I’d share my first attempt:
I chose a photo that I knew was washed out and could use some serious editing. And for the after shot:
Voila! Okay, so the underneath of my nose is still a bit pink from my cold that day, and the light is still pretty harsh, but hey! I’m working it out. Not so bad for learning this in about a half hour. Hopefully this means that 2008 will be full of pretty, pretty pictures!
And to anyone who is camera-friendly, I really suggest you looking into the Totally Rad Actions as well. They’re not too pricey, and they’ll save you a heap of time and make your world a beautiful place [even more than it already is!]
