I had the privilege of using design|house “Straight Punch” actions on my last wedding. It popped almost every image and worked seamlessly into my work flow. It was so easy to dial it in. Needless to say the bride was thrilled with her images. I’m sold on design house. And that was just one of the actions.
Andy Armstrong is a rising star in the Photoshop post-processing world. The bar is raised.
design|house by Andy Armstrong is a collection of Photoshop actions, brushes, custom shapes, and styles, as well as hi-res backgrounds, wallpapers, textures, digital mats, and photo objects. He’s also recently released a set of greeting card templates and magazine cover templates for modern photographers. If you get a chance, go check it out. You can see design|house at http://www.getdesignhouse.com. There’s a whole bunch of video tutorials in the d|h learning center too.

Well, I need a light meter…these all looked good in the view finder - sharp and exposed perfectly. It’s another story in Photoshop. The lens ain’t sharp, that’s for sure…but the model was cute and friendly…
I only post this because of the glaring lessons in not what to do! Look at all that gold reflector spill on the background - that won’t happen again. And the anti-Monte pose. Doh! My daughter deserves better!

and another one…color is all over the map, I know - it will be fixed…

I’ve liked her work and she was in town shooting a client from the past, “Ami & Scott: Chicago Edition “. Check out her new web site. She is a fan of Kevin Kubota and Doug Boutwell and his new Rad Actions for Photoshop.
Here is my favorite from her session with Ami & Scott…
