CoffeeShop Free Actions has released the latest new action for Photoshop and Photoshop Elements. It is my favorite yet! Pefect Portrait will improve any portrait. Any portrait, seriously!
I had the honor of testing this action and writing a tutorial about it before Rita released it officially, so I’ve had a head start on playing with it. It combines the best of some of her other actions, and adds a new trick or two. Not only does it have all the portrait retouching layers like skin smooth, eye bright and eye define, it also has several color pop variations.
One great feature of this action is that nearly every layer has a layer mask. The flexibility that these layer masks bring makes for pictures with just the right amount of Photoshopping, but not that overdone look.
And don’t let those layer masks scare you off if you’re not comfortable with them yet. This tutorial will help with the masks in particular as well as running the action in general.
Rita has also created some beautiful textures this week. I can not wait to try these out. Have any of you used them yet? I hope my husband is planning on spending his weekend looking after the kids, because I have photography plans!
Take care,
Erin
hey erin, i stopped by and grabbed the action from Rita. I thanked her for her awesome and generous work! I also wanted to thank you for your tutorial. It was very detailed ; ), well written, and understandable. I will play tonight when I get the kiddies to bed- fun saturday night right : /.
I have not tried the textures yet. I love the group Rita set up on Flickr http://www.flickr.com/groups/coffeeshopfreeactions/
I always go there to see what people have done with her goodies. Take care-lori
Hi Lori! Ha Ha! Playing with my pictures is one of my favorite Saturday night events! I am much older than I used to be. . . .
Yes, that tutorial is definitely detailed. A lot more than many of us need, but I do wish I had found some detailed layer mask help a few years ago. Not to mention that I wish Rita had been writing actions back then!
Thanks for coming by!
