I photograph my grandchildren a lot so I think these actions might help me too and I also have Elements so will give it a go. I also pick the brain of Kate, the country girl.

PW has a free action called 'bring on the eyes' and I use it for the whites of the eyes, but very very gently. I also found a trick in a book by Scott Kelby for lightening teeth, so I use that at times. I love the polish that your new actions gave these beautiful portraits of your daughter!Country Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14432335393660130255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-72632335214068104392011-01-03T13:26:07.696-05:002011-01-03T13:26:07.696-05:00It always helps to have the perfect subject!

I nearly always use a Dedo as backlight, at low intensity and with a diffuser, opposite a Rifa light set well back and more often than not bounced from the ceiling. Another Dedo at low intensity lights the green screen.<br /><br />Three lights sounds like a lot, but I am proud to say my setups are NEVER over lit, and our subjects look good - not shiny, not wrinkly. (and I can put up the whole thing, including greenscreen, in ten minutes flat).<br /><br />Lately, just for myself, I have been shooting stills - product shots and rooms - and sometimes sneaking low-intensity lights into hidden places to give more depth and life to things. I enjoy it, but it is keeping me humble... there is a lot to learn with lighting.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-34790223279614538822011-01-03T11:17:53.102-05:002011-01-03T11:17:53.102-05:00I think all the photos are fantastic!

However, when I look at what you have done with these beautiful photos Kat (particularly the ones where you applied the actions from your MCP set) I can see what you mean. It is also amazing what a difference cropping makes! Would Photoshop Elements 9 be suitable for someone like me with a point and shoot camera? At the moment I am really trying to master the art of "composition" and "photo staging". This will certainly be my goal for 2011 ~ small steps (I think) for the moment. Please continue providing these excellent photography tips - I am learning so much! ;)SharyneGoldenValley50https://www.blogger.com/profile/05271282913634650123noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-71125124244054187642011-01-03T01:48:01.485-05:002011-01-03T01:48:01.485-05:00Your daughter is so lovely, Kat!

I have been so bothered by it infact that I don't really retouch at all. But this has me rethinking that. Its a little much to spend right now for me since I would also have to buy PS or PS Elements, but in another few months! Look out!!! :)<br />Thanks for sharing Kat!<br />~JamieAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09390150954331096853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7142741375345713188.post-80214212447666461022011-01-02T23:18:43.766-05:002011-01-02T23:18:43.766-05:00Gorgeous gal!
