Thursday Tip: Best Actions for Bright Pics

I'm sure like us here at Devlin Photos Photoshop Actions you all have your favourites to use on specific types of photos, some are better at brightening a pic, others work best at knocking back warm tones, some are particularly flattering on skin tone etc etc. This week I've been experimenting with which of our actions are top for using on photographs...

Vegas Revisited!

On Thursday and Friday we had the perfect excuse to revel in memories of our trip to Vegas earlier this year. The lovely Danielle (who Lisa shot with her husband Jose in the Nevada desert while we were out there) posted a two part tale recounting the trip. Well we both LOVED looking through her pics and watching her very skillfully edited home-video...

Happy Friday!

Well would you believe it's Friday again! And as usual we have a little something for you. However, we have had to make a minor adjustment. Due to being completely inundated with sales from our previous freebies our admin duties have risen considerably so we've had to make this a £1 action instead of a freebie. Many apologies but hey, £1 is still...

Thursday Tip: Experiment

So you've bought some of our actions? Well now it's time to experiment! The best advice I can give is to try them all, make some favourites and figure out what works for you. Remember not all of the actions will look good on every photo! It depends on the light, the colours and so much more, so remember to revisit actions that may not have worked for...

Featured Action: Silverback (Set III)

This has to be one of my favourite black and white actions of all time. I like to use something a little bit different to traditional black and white but also like to keep it classic. I think Silverback really fits the bill for this. It softens an image but also adds atmosphere. Below is an example from a wedding I used it on recently...(click on the...

Landscape Processing

A couple of weeks ago, during a holiday in Palm Springs, me and the fella decided to avoid sitting by the pool during a wind storm and took a little trip up to Joshua Tree National Park instead. It was out of this world! Truly like being inside a Dali painting! I couldn't wait to get home and process my pics. I decided to keep it simple but...

Thursday's Tip: Opacity Is Your Friend

Firstly a heads up, pro-photoshoppers this ain't for you! But not everyone's a pro right? So... Today I wanted to chat about what we here at Devlin Photo's Photoshop Actions consider one of THE most important tools when it comes to using actions. And that is opacity.  Here it is look...If you mess about with your opacity tool you can hugely diversify...

Featured Action: Vanilla Milkshake (Set III)

I've been all about our new set of actions lately so last week I decided to tear myself away from them and revisit set III. I'd forgotten how much I love Vanilla Milkshake so I used it to process this engagement shoot on Brighton Beach. I knocked it back to 50% and just love the creamy tones - perfect for a super sunny day like this to soften the light...

*New Set* - 35mm

Well we thought it would be nice to showcase something from our new set today - and this time on a slightly different image to really show you how versatile these actions are. I really am crazy about "35mm" - an action we've created that true to its name has a wonderful filmic quality. The highlights are that little bit brighter, the shadows are a...

Blimey! It's Friday again already guys! And what better way to celebrate than to give you a little Freebie. This time we're giving away a super useful tool we like to call 'Highlight Rescue' - we find this comes in handy when dealing with photos of white dresses a lot!

So today we thought we'd show you the magic you can create  by using both actions on one image!I played Basic Pop first, then clicked back on the background...
