Actions + My Favorite Model

It occurred to me the other day that there's not really much time in my life for extra design projects outside of work. Lately, my biggest creative outlet has been taking photos. Today I forked out some dough for a collection of Photoshop actions that I've been sitting on the fence about. Nothing like a good Black Friday online sale to push you off of the fence.

For those of you who aren't Photoshop users, actions are like little recipes of moves to make in Photoshop to achieve certain effects. I'm pretty dang happy with my purchase after trying out some editing on a group of images I took this morning.

Here's the after, much better. And below are some other post-action goodies.
