This week we have *Liberty* for you... Liberty is from Set IIII (inspired by our trip to the States) - it desaturates and adds a little contrast plus a light layer of grain for a fabulous filmic look! Enjoy!

Last week was our Advanced Flash Workshop, taught by Adam Bronkhorst from Viva Wedding Photography. Our students learnt how and when to use off-camera flash, how to use it creatively, what kit to buy and how to expose quickly and correctly every time. It's a great workshop for anyone who needs a little bit more confidence with using flash.
Here's a pic of the beautiful Clare who modeled for us on the day, the image is processed with the gorgeous California from Set IIII...
Buy California as part of Set IIII here.

A little while back I did an anniversary shoot with Gemma and Chris, and last week met them on Gemma's birthday to shoot them and their little baby Robert. It's always such a joy to see a family flourish and Robert is simply adorable!
I processed the pics with Action Of The Week *Stardust* from Set IIII...

Ahh today we're adding Stardust to our set of actions you can buy for just £5 each. Stardust adds a little twinkle to your photos, softly brightening and cooling to perfection!
Stardust is also available as part of Set IIII.
Pop back tomorrow to see Stardust in action on a very cute family shoot Lisa did last week,

Last week I was talking about which actions I think are best for very bright photos, so today I thought I'd talk about which ones are best for dark pics. Now when I say dark obviously I don't mean under-exposed photographs but rather pics like this one below where there's no white dress and no sky and quite dark tones in the background.
Now the great thing about pics like this is that they can actually take the strong actions on better than bright photos and you're less likely to lose any content. I found that most of our actions worked on this particular photo but settled on these 8 as the best of the bunch!
Actions used:
From Set I & II - Basic Pop, Vintage Rose and Pistachio Haze
From Set III - Vanilla Milkshake and Petal
From Set IIII - Silver Plate, Super 8 and Malibu

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 that are already very bright (have lots of highlights or are shot into the light) and below is what I found! I think all these actions work really well on this photograph that Lisa shot of Claire into the low evening sun,
Let me know what you think,
Actions used:
From Set I & II - Dusty Black & White and Chocolate Wash
From Set III - Mint Julep and Toffee Apple
From Set IIII - Stardust, Venice Beach and California

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 you before. We'll be giving you more advice soon on what we think are some of our best actions for specific light conditions. As well as all this, don't forget to try the actions on other images besides weddings. Lots of them are super flattering on skin tones so are perfect for portraits - especially of little ones (see below for an example by Lisa), and we LOVE using them on still lives.
Have fun guys!
