AlexandraY: “Steak, shrimp, icy cold martinis…oh and lots of kisses…chocolate ones too.”
YUMMMM….that sound darn good right now! =) Although if I had one martini, I would be on the floor passed out! LOL!! Anywho…email me at brendaleann@gmail.com to claim your prizes!
And for all of you that are interested in purchasing some actions or the texture pack…you guys are getting 20% off. Just Paypal me directly to gdann@centurytel.net with the discounted total. Make sure you list what actions you want or if you want the texture pack in the instruction box. Sale ends Sunday (Jan. 31st) at 7:00 p.m. CST and you must make a mininum purchase of $12.00 (before the discount is applied).
Although I won’t pass up some good chocolate (or candy for that matter), I think my favorite Valentine’s treat are flowers…basically any kind, but I’m a bit more partial to tulips. The good thing about flowers is you can’t pack on the pounds with them! LOL!! I saw these pretty gerber daisies while I was getting groceries the other day and couldn’t resist buying them. I used the reverse macro technique for these shots and a couple of my textues and actions all mixed together. =)
Thanks everyone for playing…have a fantastic weekend!

You didn’t receive your actions (and you ordered some), please check your paypal email address…I’ve had a few recently bounce back to me saying the email was undeliverable. I have no other way of sending them to you unless you made note in the instructions box of paypal. So, if you ordered some goodies and haven’t received them, please contact me at brendaleann@gmail.com and give me the correct email address so I can send them on their way and you can start to play! =) HEY…I made a rhyme! LOL!!

please make sure that your paypal email is the correct email to send the actions and/or textures too. If it isn’t the same, please make sure you contact me and let me know what email address to send them too. I’ve had a couple lately that have bounced back so if you recently purchased something and haven’t received it, it’s because the email address that I had isn’t working.
thanks,
Bren

So, you guys know I LOVE to experiment in Photoshop. Actually that’s how I learned so much stuff…when I started out, I only have Photoshop 5.5 and it didn’t support actions so in order for me to try all the awesome processing I was seeing, I had to attempt it myself. I cursed it to no end but it was a blessing in disguise because it taught me to get comfortable with PS and learn.
So, I took my normal actions and processing a photos with it. Here it is with just a quick color boost run:
Now here it is with my urban processing action ran on it:
This is the result when I changed the urban processing layer mode from Normal to Luminosity (you can see the little difference it in…the yellow is duller and it’s a tad overall brighter):
And here, I lowered the urban processing layer to 31% (kept it at Luminosity), added my orange dull layer action, deleted the bright layer, lowered the dull layer to 50% and again changed the layer mode from Normal to Luminosity….it really pumped up the colors:
It’s not HUGE changes but as you can see, it does make a difference. Definitely play around with your actions…you can get lots of different looks from them just by changing the layer mode. =)
