 I've been digging through Adobe Bridge today trying to find some interesting images to share with you. I stumbled across this one, and although it isn't especially dramatic, it is one I really love. I took this where I live, in the Middle East (only a couple more months!). Falconry is very big in the region and this man is shown here with his hawk. By the way, I always look for images in my Bridge that are dramatic and I usually only edit those. I feel like I have to get away from that because I am missing a lot of everyday-experience type shots in favor of only perfect shots. This one for example, is far from perfect. I mean, I don't think Nat Geo is going to call me on this one. The man isn't looking at the camera, the hawk isn't looking at the camera, his tank top is weirdly pulled to the left of the picture. Gents, please don't wear tank tops under cotton shirts, or any other kind of shirts. Short sleeve undershirts look much less "my cousin Vinny"-ish. Undershirts aside, this is definitely a RAW image, and it's slightly underexposed. The first thing I did, was look to my Actions palette to see what I had that might help me brighten the image. I went straight for the Spring sets of Actions (5 for $5.00) that we released last year.  I started with Bright & Creamy from Spring IV, and it brighten things right up while adding vibrance. It only needed one click. This looks good but lacks contrast.  Next, I chose Pastel-erator from Spring I, to give it a washed out pastel-look while adding contrast.  Next, I used Limerick. Actually, next I tried a million different Actions before settling on Limerick. Personally, I kind of wanted to have a vintage vibe, but finally landed on Limerick as a clean-ish example. Limerick is our FREE ACTION that was released last March, and honestly one of my all time favorites! I turned the Boost and Warmth layers off, and reduced the Tone layer to 51%. The handlers face is still a little dark, but I wanted to hawk to stand out so I am okay with it.  This was a five minute edit, and not too in depth. You can find the Spring Actions for only $5.00 on the 5for $5 page, and you can find Limerick here for free!

We have 5 gorgeous tones for you that emulate the beautiful winter colors and effects that we are all striving to capture this year. Each tone was carefully crafted to help you achieve the greatest results in the quickest manner. At the same time, we left room for total customization. Each layer of each Action is ungrouped and includes a layer mask for ultimate flexibility.
Five Winter Toning Actions:
1. Deep Winter- includes three layers to shift, boost, and give you an optional winter haze. The tone is a gorgeous, rich, royal blue.
2. Icy Blast- includes four layers to shift, boost, add a touch of winter, and and includes a velvety smooth matte finish. 3. Sweet Winter- includes four layers to shift, boost, add sweet winter contrast, and pop with added richness. 4. Lost & Found- is a deep moody edit that includes 3 layers to give gorgeous contrast, deep mood, and a moody low finish. 5. Vintage Winter- includes four layers to boost, shift your image to a vintage film look, and finally give a subtle vignette. These Actions play very smoothly on all of our test images, with minimal layer masking. The option exists on each layer of each Action to use a layer mask. This makes each Action fully customizable enabling you to achieve the greatest results! Five Tones Of WinterFor Use With Adobe Photoshop CS 4-6 & Creative Cloud

Happy Friday Y'all! I have been taking a bit of a Spring break this week.
1 company + 2 blogs + 2 dogs + one 2 year old = I am exhausted.
I just had to take a step back this week and gain some sanity. Does anyone else out there just need a minute from time to time?
Well, happy 5 for $5.00 Friday! Guess what I have for you today? 5 Butterfly overlays! These are real pictures of real butterflies that you can add to your images quickly and easily. Each is on a transparent background and needs no effect other than placing. These are the perfect companion for Spring I (Action Set) that was released last week. They are also great for card making, graphics, and more.
You can use the move tool to resize the overlays, change direction, or even use a Transform command to scale, distort, change perspective, skew, or warp them to fit into your image (although they tend to fit the first time). Add a layer mask to erase areas that appear behind your subject or Blur to blend them into your bokeh.
These are as easy as it gets as far as overlays go! Grab them up now!
Side note: {I encourage you to follow on Fridays as this Spring we we will release a Spring related set of effects each Friday that will help you build a full collection by June 21. After June 21, everything from Spring will be bundled into a collection and sold at a much higher price.}

How Do I Get More Bubbles In My Pictures?
We have the answer for you. Bubble Bokeh.
I remember taking pictures of my daughter on her first birthday. I was telling her to sit still (yes, Im that mamarazzi) while magical balloons flew around her. I had my Mom trying to blow bubbles in a windy-ish situation from the side while I ran around and fixed balloons and generally got upset about everything.
I was so flustered.
I wanted it all to be perfect. If you are a Mamarazzi like me you know the feeling. The bubbles weren't coming out right. I would snap away and only manage to get 2 or 3 full bubbles in the picture. Finally, I gave up. I truly wanted a magical picture full of bubbles, in a completely uncontrolled environment, with a one year old subject. I set myself up for disappointment.

" I truly wanted a magical picture full of bubbles, in an uncontrolled environment, with a one year old subject"
I ended up developing this set of real bubble overlays to compensate for this problem. There are 5 overlays total, all serve a different purpose:
Bubble Bokeh: A true bokeh to fit outside the plane of focus.
Sharp Bubbles: Designed to fit within the plane of focus.
Stream of Bubbles: Designed to be blown away from the subject, as if they were blowing bubbles.
Bubble Explosion: A true explosion of bubbles to be fitted to the size of your image.
Glowing Bubble Explosion: This is the same bubble explosion mentioned above only most bubbles have a gorgeous soft glow.

This is a great example of you can work smarter and not harder. Whether you are a photographer, or a Mamarazzi, or both, like me...you need one less thing to worry about.
Bubbles of all things, being one them.
