Andrea Lopez is a hobbiest photographer with future aspirations of going pro.  She emailed to let me know how much she loves using MCP Photoshop actions and wanted to share this recent image and Blueprint.
Blueprint: She edited the photo using the Quickie Collection action set

Started with Crackle adjusted the opacity to 25%
Then used Nondestructive dodge (face only) @ 10% and Nondestructive burn (background only) @ 15%
Next used Urban Ocean – Only turned on Contrast Flare @ 55% opacity (masked back @ 100% on skin)
Fingerpaint Thick @ 25% on background
MCP Your Own Sharp as a Tack @ 2.4

    Wow that’s dramatic!! You should make a site with all the “recipe’s” like TRA has. It’s very cool to see how people get their results!
