And.... ACTIONS!

I've been trying to get that "pop" for a while now and a very sweet person, Michelle from http://michellehamstra.com/mhp.html, introduced me to actions in Photoshop. I didn't spend a ton of time on these, since first of all, that's the entire point of actions and second I'm just playing around trying to figure out which ones do what and if I even like them. If you want some great free actions, check out Rita over at coffeshop. She is absolutely amazing.

So, here's what an action does. In a few clicks, it can make a photo "pop". ;) before is above, after is below.






well, maybe sometimes it's just a little "too much". But, that's to figure out another night. Right now, sleep calls. I'm taking photos tomorrow for a church family with four kids..... YIKES! Wish me luck!
