Amelia & Justin @ Amelia Lyon Photography's Picture
Amelia & Justin Lyon, Orange County Vendor: Photographer Website: Amelia Lyon Photography About Me: Hi, I am Amelia. I like to dance and sing my heart out in the car. My family has been in the wedding industry for 3 generations. Being the first photographer in the family, it has given me a unique perspective on how to keep things fresh and fun! Hello, I am Justin. I like to play Ping-Pong, and I too like to dance. Being a film and TV producer by trade, I am obsessed with finding the story that every image has to tell. Collectively we are wedding, portrait and music photographers. Now that we've started to tell you our story, why don't you let us capture yours?
About Amelia & Justin @ Amelia Lyon Photography

We have been getting so many comments and e-mails from other fellow photographers who are curious to how we get “the look” we get, so we've decided to post some before and afters with some action recipes from the coolest action sets out there from the TOTALLY RAD ACTIONS!

If you haven't purchased these actions to enhance your digital images, we HIGHLY recommend getting them! I think the reason why we love them so much is because they allow us to get sort of a vintage film look without losing the quality of our colors and resolution. They also allow us to combine as many actions we want to get “the look” we are trying to go for.

The following two Before-and-After's were created using both Totally Rad Actions! and TRA2 - THE REVENGE.

*Before-and-After set #1 recipe for color (I also just realized that the After is on the left and should be on the right, oops! You'll get the idea, anyhow):

1. Yin/Yang (painted in desired areas of dodge and burn)
2. Bullet Tooth (opacity to 25%)
3. Get Faded (opacity to 40%)
4. Warm It Up Kris! (opacity to 20%)
5. Boutwell Magic Glasses

*Before-and-After set #2 recipe for black and white:
1. Desaturate image prior to starting recipe
2. Contrast (opacity to 50%)
3. Yin/Yang (painted in desired areas of dodge and burn)
4. Detroit (opacity to 50%)
5. Grainstorm
6. Boutwell Magic Glasses

If you were going to recommend one action set over the other, which would it be?

@Mrs. Avocado: This is such a tough question because I use both of the TRA sets together all of the time and I love them both!!!! I guess I can’t really answer that question, so sorry:(
