We love the new fashion colours of the images that are being done by so many of the photographers all over the world today, I know I love them. I love the muted colours, the hard flash contrast look and the old fashioned film looks, just to name a few different styles.

A big thanks to everyone who entered the competition!! We have a winner – username: Bert. He has the choice of any one of the AllyKatDesign Actions FOR FREE that you can find here in the shop.

Also I have a sneak peak for you – Beauty Retouching Actions.

I have included before and after samples of the action.

The actions are designed to help you cut down on your retouching time by doing all the fiddly work for you. There will be a few different choices of effects such as adding a tan and different skin glow effects, including the famous Jill Greenburg glow effect.

It might be an old technique that has been around ever before photoshop. It has been used in films and photographs to highlight an important aspect. Remember Schindler’s List? But its still popular in wedding photos, baby and toddler images and artistic images in general.

Colour is an important element that helps expressing emotion and attracting attention. Colour can amplify an important element in an image, when it is used as an accent in a black and white picture.

There are many tutorials out there in the world wide web that show you how to achieve this effect, but say you have many images to convert?  These days, time = money. So here’s a easy and brilliant solution to save you time (and money).

I have developed 7 actions that will do the selective colour for you.

Tickle Me Pink

This action targets all the pinky magenta tones in an image, while converting the rest of the colours to black and white.

Feeling Blue

This action leaves the blue and the cyan tones intact while converting all the rest of the colours to black and white.

Green With Envy

This action leaves the greens and a bit of the yellows intact, making the rest of the image black & white.

Purple Haze

Pick out all the purple shades in an image, leave all the rest in black and white.

Seeing Red

Takes too long to mask out red rose petals on the sand or in a bouquet? Run Seeing Red to cut your masking time in half.

Mellow Yellow

This action targets the yellows tones, while converting all the rest to black and white.

Clockwork Yellow Orange

This action targets the orange tones in the image and converts the rest to black and white.

Depending on the tones in the image you are running the action on, some images may require more masking than others.

Head over to the AllyKatDesign Shop to get your new actions and for more examples:
