CoffeeShop Peachy Glow PSE/Photoshop Action!


OK, I might have to check myself into action-writing rehab since I have been on an action-writing bender lately.  My creatively is either trickling/dried-up OR flooding; and right now I am getting overwhelmed with all of the partly-written actions I am working on for this blog.  Today I want to present a new favorite: CoffeeShop Peachy Glow.

This action is perfect for portraits if you want to add a subtle peachy glow to skin and brighten your image.  Like most of my actions this one is fully adjustable (I would suggest masking the color tint off eyes), and it even has an optional vignette.  This is an editing techniques that looks nice on most images.  Both of the images I used on this post had the action run on them with no adjustments at all other than erasing the color tint layers off their eyes.

If you are one of my readers who is working on a really old version of PSE (I actually had someone email me that one of my actions was not working on PSE2!), you should check out PSE11.  It is affordable AND the first version of PSE that allows you to load actions just like you do in Photoshop (easily).  No struggling to find that action folder and worrying about deleting the media database file.  Then you can load all of my favorite actions in one group if you want!

The beautiful image I have used for this before/after are not my own, but generously donated by JB Photography. Thank you so much for allowing me to play with your beautiful image.

Here is another before/after (I used a beautiful image from Mellissa of Serendipity Photography - Facebook).


I wanted to post another beautiful edit using Peachy Glow on an adorable image by Caryn Prouty.

  12. I LOVE love love this action! One question: How do I mask the tint from the eyes? When I use this action in PSE, the mask option is grey/disabled. Thanks for the help!

  13. When I use this action everything looks amazing. Until I go to save my work and a box shows up on my photo and wont go away. How do I stop this or fix it? The box looks like the unedited photo and its right in the middle.
