Actions...

I've been using a lot of actions to edit my photography in Photoshop lately. Let me just say, they're a lot of fun. For those of you who are unfamiliar with "actions" I'll share this link with you http://photo.tutsplus.com/articles/post-processing-articles/100-free-photoshop-actions-and-how-to-make-your-own/. They are so helpful and make editing so much quicker and easier. I've downloaded quite a few from the site I shared with you and haven't had any problems. They don't always look good on every photo but they are easy to remove (Revert) and then try another one to get the effect that you're looking for. It's also fun to make your own action (which is also featured on that site) and put together favorite editing styles to make them faster. Just push play! To be honest I was leery at first with the whole downloading thing but after taking to some photography friends, getting some credible sites and scanning each one with my virus scanner, I was on my way and I haven't looked back since.

As mentioned in my last post I decided to start up a Facebook page. I've done so just this evening, so there isn't much there yet but there will be very soon! Check it out https://www.facebook.com/PhotographyByGinaLMayor

I'll still be updating my blog and sharing my "challenge" photos through here. Without further adieu here are a few (of many) photos from this summer.
