New Feature – Step by Step | Paint the Moon Photoshop Actions, Textures, Tutorials

This is going to be a new feature on the site that involves all of you as well! I am frequently asked to help out with customer’s images, editing them as I would normally do using my actions. This helps them to see the potential their photo has, as well as see the actions in action, if you will. I thought it would be fun to make this a public feature and showcase some of your photos with Paint the Moon editing done, giving you all a glimpse of what steps I took to edit them and usually providing several examples of a finished image.

If you would like to participate, please send me your SOOC image at [email protected]. I will choose a couple of images to edit and showcase here each week. But that’s not all … everyone who submits a photo this week and is chosen as the Step by Step Showcase for next week will receive a $15 gift card to the store!! Everyone else who participates will receive a discount code towards my whole store. When you submit your image, please make sure it is a high resolution, straight out of camera shot, and please only submit one photo each week with the title “Step by Step” in your subject line of the email. If you have a particular look or edit in mind (especially if you are interested in seeing PSE edits only), be sure to mention that too! 🙂

Here is the first Step by Step showcase image … submitted by Shay Chic Photography, and what a beauty it is!

And the final before and after that I happened to like best:

The action sets listed and used in these edits are The Essentials, Miracle Makeover, Fresh and Tillie’s Attic.
