Want to See a Sample?

Remember that little action I was telling you about...the one from CottageArts? Well, I had a chance to use it and here are my results.

I started with what I thought was a good photo. Then I ran the action and what you see in the middle is exactly how it came out after the action.

The last photo on the right is the same one after the action, but I played with the levels and hue/saturation levels. I think I went a bit oversaturated in this sample, but if I tone it down just a tiny bit, his face won't be so pinkish and I will have a great photo.

I wi sh I could show you the bigger versions, but Blogger is having problems at the moment and I can't upload them. Oh well, even if this is small, it is better than no samples at all.

Looking for some ACTION?

Did I get your attention? :)

The kind of action I am TALKING about is a PHOTOSHOP ACTION. Michelle Shefveland from Cottage Arts created a DIGITAL DARKROOM ACTION: Lighten and Pop, which link will appear in tomorrow's edition of the CottageArts newsletter.

Picking the Perfect Pumpkin

Even though Daddy had already bough the kids their pumpkin, I took the kids to a roadside farm in Mansfield where they had quite a few varieties for sale. They each picked a small pumpkin and a jar of honey. They were so thrilled they even posed for pictures willingly. 10-16-2006.Credits: Even though Daddy had already bough the kids their pumpkin, I took the kids to a roadside farm in Mansfield where they had quite a few varieties for sale.
