Lilia Ahner - Love the before and after recipe! As much as I love the Totally Rad Actions, I’ve been trying to replicate the same thing in Lightroom with my own presets. But it’s tough. :(

October 26, 2009 - 4:08 pm

Michele - Love it!!! So much fun to see how others edit. Would LOVE to see more!

October 26, 2009 - 4:30 pm

Marc Haers - That’s awesome, I really need to get some totally rad actions sets, doing this stuff by hand is a real pain.

Greets,

Marc

Emilie - This is gorgeous!!!

October 27, 2009 - 11:36 am

Squeeker - I’m in the same boat as you! I love the time it saves me in post and the extra time it gives me to spend with my husband and kids too! And as much as it’s “someone elses actions” you still blend and select which parts of an action you use anyway – which makes it kinda like your own. =)

Beautiful work btw! And thanks for sharing your recipe! =D (seen from @gettotallyrad ’s link on twitter).

Kelly - So wonderful! I can’t wait to see more. Post processing is not my favorite thing in the world, so I love seeing posts like this.

valerie - So helpful!! I have two little ones myself and am pulling single mom duty so any time savers are a God send to me. I have been trying to get the Get Faded Winter look and did not realize he had an action for that. Thanks!!

audra bender - Thank you Caroline for sharing this before and after. You can tell you are such a giving person and as a new photographer, you inspire me. I just love your work. Beautiful perspective.

October 29, 2009 - 11:31 am
