one of my favorite photographer and scrapbooker friends, maggie holmes, has just announced that she is selling her photography actions. yay!!! you can check out the details on HER BLOG. so excited for her!

i have always admired maggie’s phography skills … i just love the look and style of her photos. i think i have tried to gear my editing to look somewhat like hers … i love the way her colors just POP! and now she’s offering actions that can help achieve her look … with the simple press of the "play" button. she asked a few people to try them out for her and give our feedback … and i was completely honored to be one of those that she asked.

here’s a quick sample of a couple of the photos i played with. click on them to see a larger version.

i love the color action set … such rich colors. there is also a lighten action included … for those that need a little exposure help.

and the vintage action set is so gorgeous. i have never really tried to get a vintage look on my photos … so an action is perfect to do it for me! all of her actions are so easy to use … and run very fast and smooth. i have played with a ton of photos using them … and have had consistent results with all of them.

so go check them out and read more about them on her blog. i know you’ll enjoy them! and while i’m enableing you all … did you remember to go order the LB april KOTM today? has lots of fun stuff … and i’ve loved seeing all the ideas from some of my favorite designers!

    Those pictures are really pretty. Love the color, however I have Elements 6.0 so I don’t think they would work. Would they?

    I checked her blog and the actions say they are compatible with Photoshop, not specifically Elements. Are they just for the full blown, super expensive version of Photoshop, not Elements?

    Those are really cool…wish I had PS not PSE! I don’t know if I have asked you this before, but have you ever had to calibrate your monitor? I am noticing my pics seem a little off from what the screen shows me…thanks! Have a great weekend!
