its hot ya'll

a couple of days ago i was talking about holly's stuff she has avaible at her new photgraphers boutique.
you can check it out at www.hollymccaigdesigns.com/boutique
i remember holly from way back when her designs were one of the featured procducts
when i was on the sbb design team. i really like her actions and storyboard (and did you see the cards
she had at christmas time??). well, a few weeks ago, while lurking at her blog i see that not only is she opening a
photographers boutique (basically a store all kinds of "commercial ok" stuff for photographers) but she also
puts a call out for a few "boutique gals" to play with her things. long story short, i didnt have to read that twice!!
lol!! ok, but aside from the fact that i'm now a "boutique gal" , i just tried out this action last week.
its holly's workflow action. and, i think i may be in love (is it ok to be in love over and over and over and over again, cause i just
had these cinnamon raison bagels the other day that i think i'm in love w/ too. ) this action takes you from start to finish w/ your photo.
from adjusting levels, saturation, sharpening - all of it. i'm posting a few examples to give you a little idea. keep in mind these
pics were shot in raw (plus jpeg) so these are the little jpeg that the camera shot. they are a little underexposed which i seem to do.
i opened in ps and used the raw converter/adjuster thingy. i ajusted the wb a bit (a little warm) and lightened just a tad, then brought it in ps and ran holly's action- and this is what you have. the only thing i added (not shown in the pic) before i did a final save was to burn around the edges of the pic a bit.
try it out ya'll!
oh! man, dont you LOVE LOVE LOOVVVEEE those cheeks?? love them! and those eyes! and how her lips poke out! and how serious she looks for six months! and that drool, yes, another thing i'm in love with!!
