Wonderful resources for PhotographersHello lovelies! How has everyone been?
I've been overwhelmed with the amount of questions and comments I've been receiving about how I edit my photographs, what Photoshop actions do I use, how I do I get a "soft" effect, etc. I've been trying to keep up in answering them all but I thought it would be much easier if I give an explanation / tutorial / information about my editing in this journal. My only ask in return is that you please "like" my Official Photography Page "Sarah Jane Photography" via Facebook - I do update frequently and give tips on photography & editing. There's even a bokeh video too!
Before I delve into resources to use... I want to say to all photographers and photoshop users that everyone has a unique way in editing, and everyone has personal styles in the way they want their 'finished' photo to look. I am deeply humbled that so many enjoy my photographs; every comment and critique is very meaningful to me. I started using Photoshop when I was 13, and I love playin

Sun Kissed Photoshop Actionsby `Whimsical-Dreams

Finally, I have revamped my very popular "Dark and Light Vintage" Actions with 6 new photoshop actions!

Sun Kissed Photoshop Actions

Soft Glow - creates a soft, warm contrast to your photographs which suits nature / macro photography, and especially portraits.

Warm Haze - brightens and creates a pretty washed out effect, whilst still maintaining a slight vintage tone.

Sweetness - a bright, saturated, vintage tones which I particularly use in most of my nature photographs.

Afternoon Sun - recreating the same warm tones as the afternoon sunset, this action can create soft light to any dull photo. Particularly useful for photographs with low lighting or underexposure.

Quick Sharpen - Using high-pass sharpening effect, even the smallest details will look clearer, and detailed.

Exposure-Fix - This action is best used for dull, under-exposed photographs which need extra brightening and enhancing.

* Please note that ALL these actions' opacity can be changed, and some have layer masks which means you can erase parts of your photographs using the layer-mask (i.e. erasing the sharpness off skin).

Created with Adobe Photoshop CS5. Should work with most CS versions.

These actions are great!
... just remember that the original photo looks fantastic without adding to it as well, ok? Don't second guess yourself and think that you can't take a good photo unless its been through photoshop. You CAN take a good photo without it.

I've made these photoshop actions with the purpose that everyone can download, use, and enjoy them. I make photoshop actions so that people who aren't confident in editing their own photographs can learn from using the action. It's nothing to do with thinking my photographs are bad without having to edit them first - because in most cases I don't do much at all. You'd have a hard time finding a professional photographer that doesn't actually edit their photos for clients.
I hope that makes sense, I don't want to be second guessed either

No I know, I just read your comments in your recent self portraits and was thinking about it... probably commented on the wrong thing. Just don't want you to be too self critical like I am to the point where it's paralyzing... you're a good photographer.
Sorry if I gave you the wrong idea, not meant as a criticism! derp.
