Learn to Make Your Photos Pop: Step-by-Step Blueprint
Intense color photography is something many photographers want right now. High contrast, vivid colors, and a whole lot of pop is what Laci Davis wants for her photography.
Laci has been using MCP’s actions for quite a while, her favorite being the High Definition Sharpening action. Download this FREE Photoshop action here. Laci recently did a story on Photoshop actions, and featured MCP, on the Studio 5 KSL Utah morning TV show. Watch the segment below and see how she edited a photo using the Free Mini Fusion action, a different edit using Color Fusion Mix and Match from the MCP Fusion Set, and then a black and white edit also from Fusion.
Today, she is sharing the ultra colorful image shown on the show – and how she went from the before to the after in this step-by-step Blueprint. Laci made the photo come alive with extremely intense colors. Just remember, if you prefer more mild coloring or contrast, all of our Photoshop actions allow for that control – you can get just the look you want! My personal preference would be something right in between the two, but photography and editing is subjective.
Her detailed steps are below – she used Color Fusion Mix and Match, Magic Markers, Magic Skin and High Definition Sharpening.

Love this! I am obsessed with your Fusion Action set! I have purchased several different sets from various people, but this one by far is my favorite and the only one I am using right now!
