My current obsession started a few months ago when I discovered The Pioneer Woman's blog. I really can't remember how I happened upon it, but I did. I think I found it around the end of February/beginning of March, and I've spent the time since then reading just about every entry. I really like her photography skills and her Photoshop tutorials.
On her site, I discovered "actions." I work with Photoshop every day at work and am lucky enough to have access to CS2, but I had never heard of actions. Probably because I'm usually not working with photographs, but renderings. Anyway, she has two set of actions you can download for free. Plus, I went online and downloaded some other ones for free as well. As soon as I discovered these actions, my world opened up like never before! I started going through my photos looking for pics good enough to apply these actions too.
And in the process of learning about actions, I also learned about the really cool affect of the black and white photo with color.
So, the following photos are some pics I have taken the last couple of years that I really like and wanted to play with. I am no expert, but I am enjoying learning about this, and playing with a different aspect of Photoshop! The first pictures in the sets are the before's and the rest are the after's.
