Recipe:

  1. General color correction
  2. Then ran Dirty Diana and erased texture on couple by about 50% and 80% on the faces
  3. Then ran Pool Party
  4. Then ran Beer Googles at 40% opacity and erased out some of the couple inconsistently to mimic a tilt shift or similar lens
  5. Then ran P.O.S. and dropped opacity to 30%
  6. Then did a rectangle marquee and refined the edge to 150 and inverted the selection and brought down the curves for a vignette.
  7. Then I ran Grandma’s Tap Shoes to bring down the color a little more retro at an opacity of 44%

    Hi,

    I just want to say that your recipes are awesome! How much do you charge for them? Are they actions that you can put into photoshop?

    Thank you for taking the time to respond,
    Blessings,
    Heather

    Hi Doug,
    I’m already using your original RAD Actions…I love them… Am I understanding that you have 2 newer sets? What is the difference in price between TRA1 and TRA2? I don’t see this on your site…Which set has the action that produced your opening page photo, (before/after)which action is this? On the above photo…does this set come with textures or is this a layer in Dirty Diana? Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions…I think I want the TRA2…..
    Many Thanks,
    Glenda
