Default No more SOOC pictures....what I bought for my birthday
I realize that I am lazy when it comes to editing photos. I really don't take advantage of the fact that my DH is a semi-pro, and I've been wondering why my pages look so blah, but now I know why.

I had a little Paypal stash from my birthday and got these

MCP Quickie actions

and

Nichole Van's Photo fix

After just running 1 color pop (MCP), 1 eye enhancer and 1 skin smooth (at 1 am no less LOL) this is the result.

Before:


After:


I'm wicked impressed and they were SO easy to use! I'm so excited now, it's like buying a new digiscrap toy LOL!

Jamie!!! That's bad!! Don't show those actions to me! My resistance is unbearably weak when it comes to photo enhancement actions!

I have a set from MCP....I can't remember which one it is though. I use them ALL the time! I just looked and I'm pretty sure they are the exact one. I LOVE the "crackle" I use that on everything. Have fun!!! Can't wait to see more pics after using the actions.

Have to ask ... what program are you using them in? Do these work in Lightroom? That is my next purchase goal.

These are Photoshop actions, I have CS3. I don't have Lightroom, so I work with what I have!

Totally awesome Jamie!

I have have a lot from Nicole...I have to see if I have those MCP ones.

Great shot...and what a difference it makes. I hardly EVER scrap with a photo unless i've done something with it.

Love it!!! Awesome job!!

I really really really really really really want just about all of Nicole's store, LOL! I really like her actions, but since I have LR I feel like I should get the presets. So I'm stuck at an impasse, lol. Next time she has a sale I'm buying something for sure though.

It's SO much fun!! Another reason why I need to eventually upgrade to Photoshop from PSE. MCP Sctions is a GREAT website - lots of tutorials, lots of info.

Um...gorgeous...I've now been enabled and will have to figure out how to install actions in PSE6. I NEED better looking photos.

Don't worry, I won't tell DH it was you that showed me these.
