It’s been a wonderfully blessed year for Michelle Kane Photography and the HeARTy Photoshop Actions. I’m very thankful and appreciative to all you Facebook fans and blog readers for following me on Facebook and here on the blog. Thanks for your support and interest in the HeARTy Photoshop Actions. I greatly appreciate your feedback, comments, and sharing your fabulous photos you’ve edited with the HeARTy Photoshop Actions. We all love to see what you’re doing with the actions!  The new year will bring changes to both the photography business and the Photoshop action sides of the business. Stay tuned for all things new in 2012!

As a thank you for all your kind support this year, I was going to give away 3  bundled sets of the HeARTy Photoshop Actions. But I’ve changed my mind. Because it is better to give than to receive, I’m giving away FOUR action sets that include both the Creative HeART and the HeART & Soul Action Collections. * If you win, even if you’ve already purchased the HeARTy actions or you purchase them before the giveaway closes, you will be fully refunded! How’s that for spreading some Christmas cheer!!

The following before and after photos were edited with the HeARTy Photoshop Actions.

I receive a lot of inquires regarding the “looks” you can achieve with the HeARTy actions. Specifically, there are a lot of you who want to know if you can edit a dreamy, pastel looking photo. The answer: yes! Listed below are the HeARTy actions used to create this soft, pretty and ethereal look to your photos.

For this light pastel and dreamy photo editing, I used the following HeARTy Photoshop Actions:

Translucent Haze, Matte Overlay (masked off face lightly), Warm Air for toning, Posh for a slight creamy richness, Flawless Face and Opulent Light to create the creamy, ethereal light.
