I'm starting to play around a bit more with Photoshop CS2. I've seen so many lovely photos that have been successfully enhanced using lots of different techniques.
Recently I came across a blog called The Coffee Shop. It's run by a lovely and very talented lady called Rita. Now Rita is also very generous....She writes actions for Photoshop and lets you download them for FREE...how good is that.
Anyway, as I'd seen so many beautiful shots using her actions I thought I'd try and work through one of them. I downloaded and installed EYE BRIGHT. Now I've never used actions before myself, and I can tell you it was not easy to get my head round it at first. However, now I think I've got it, and can't wait to try more. I do need a bit more practice with this one, but at least I'm on my way now. Here's what I did:
As you can see, this action has made quite a dramatic difference to the eyes. They really POP now. I've still got a way to go before I really get the best out of it, but I think this is not bad for my first attempt. If you love photography, and want to learn more about Photoshop, and actions, then check out Rita's blog.
Thanks for tuning in.
