photoshop is fun

So I said I wasn't going to play around with editing just yet....but I lied. I'm sure many of you read The Pioneer Woman's blog, right? Did you know she has two sets of FREE Photoshop actions? Freaking amazing.

I must preface this: I have no clue what I'm doing and I am quite sure some of these are not supposed to be run at 100% opacity. And still, it's just so fun. I like playing.

The original, straight out of camera:

fresh and colorful:

heartland:


lovely and ethereal:


seventies:


warmer:

black and white:
I could [and will] play for days with these babies.

Photoshop editing + learning the manual setting on my camera = dorky fun had by all. And yes, this is how I spent my Friday night...so what? I'm old you know.

Those are really cool effects. One of my goals this year is to learn photoshop. Good luck getting the hang of it!

I LOVE pw's actions, except I only have PS Elements so I can't use them. I hope she makes an elements version sometime. Seventies and Warmer are my favorites.

How fun! So I am assuming that I would have to have photoshop in order to download and use those actions, right? I need to have Mike get me some bootleg version or something!

Don't you just love Photoshop. The more you get into it, you should look into purchasing Kubota photoshop action packs. They are AMAZING! Pics look good. Glad you're enjoying your camera.
