Hmmm… I guess I’d describe my editing style as clean and simple. My absolute favorite MCP action that I use most of the time is “touch of color” as it keeps things simple, but brightens and clarifies.
I have just started using textures with more confidence and love them!
My photography style is either bright and colorful or soft and vintage, it depends on the photograph. Although I do not own it at this time, I really love the look that Fusion can achieve. Thank you for the opportunity!
My style is simple, elegant, and timeless. I love using Bag of Tricks in editing!!
I’m not sure I’ve defined my style yet – I tend to let the image “speak to me.
My style is very dreamy and whimsical. I love bag of tricks its my favorite !!
I love the crisp and summery look. I love how the subject of the image stands out alone and the background is washed out with a burst of sun/light glare.
My favorite MCP actions are Lemonade stand and Rustic Summer Camp. I love the fusion set but have yet to purchase any due to the starving artist syndrome. One day I will get there
… ONE day.
My photography style is clean and bright… although I love “playing” with those clean and bright photos and creating pieces of art by using actions! I’m just getting started and would love to win some new things to use on my photos. I LOVE the MCP mini fusion action! THANKS for that!!!
Right now I’m still working on getting my style to be consistent… I’m trying to break into teen and senior portraits, and I want my style to be very sharp and bold (i.e. tack sharp photos with bright, vibrant colors).
Either the Bag of Tricks set or the MCP Fusion set would best suit my style.
Already a fan on FB : )

Well I’m just getting into this so I don’t know if I’ve “found” my style yet but I love the feathery, light look. I love the MCP mini fushion set. Come on Random.org, pick me! =)

My style is probably “all in the details”….
My style is very clean and bold. I always try to step out of my box and try new things on my shoots. I love the touch of light/touch of darkness. It really adds a lot of detail. Pick me, pick me!

Clean and bright!
I am a follower on facebook
It’s pretty difficult to describe my photography and editing style. Some days it’s clean and modern, other days it’s whimsical and vintage. It depends on who and what I’m photographing and where I’m intending my photos to go. My style is just like me in that aspect. My purple pigtails and jeans are great for hitting the mall (ok, the library), but if I throw on my ‘housewife’ dress and curl my hair, I’m like a blast from the past.
I guess my style can be described as me. It’s consistently inconsistent but (usually) appropriate for the situation.
I have a link to MCP Actions in the sidebar on my blog too.
My photography style is “still developing” as I am a newbie comparatively speaking. My editing style is basic as I am just learning. So far I am loving touch of light/touch of darkness.
I would say I aim for a clean, soft, natural look (though I’m still in the experiencing stage)
Today my style is soft, detailed, and clean. I love your blog!! Thanks
I love the Fusion actions. I use them all the time! My style is “still learning”. It may be that way forever!
Liked and clean, glowy and bright!
I love “It’s All in the Details” and “Cover Model’ because they help me strip back the most daring and powerful elements of an image. Sometimes that means color and contrast, sometimes it means revealing a way of looking at an image that I couldn’t have seen on my own.
I’d love the prize. I’m a facebook fan and my friend Cindy for sure ‘liked’ your blog because of me
My editing style is natural, classic and airy with a touch of pop. I find the Quickie Collection to be my go-to action set for most photos – almost every photo gets Snap and Sharp People along with Eye Doctor! Oh and I’ve liked MCP on Facebook for quite some time.
Hmmm, I’d say my style is playful and colourful. MCP fusion seems the best match for that!
I like to keep things clean, bold and colorful! Especially as I learn to take better portraits of newborns and children. But for couples, I like to go the faded, soft, romantic side. I think the Bag of Tricks and Complete Workflow action sets more than make this happen!
I’m already a fan on Facebook

I don’t yet have a signature editing style down. I try to be more consistent and I find that my pictures are colorful and bright, definitely more on the modern side. After a recent workshop with Doug Landreth on CreativeLive I started playing around with textures, so that would be an awesome win! I use the Bag of Tricks often, and my favorite at the moment is the Mini-Fusion which I always try first. Thanks for this great free action! (Been a fan for a long time, of course!)
Tweeted ! Thanks for a great giveaway.
I like the bright, colorful look. Perhaps the MCP Fusion set would be a great addition
Haven’t purchased an MCP Action set yet… definately on my wish list. I’m only a budding photographer, and although my style sometimes depends on the client, I prefer bold, bright, funky styles. Pops of color tend to win over the soft and creamy look for me. I’d love to win the actions, and cross it off of my wish list. I’m sure I’ll add the other actions sets right back on, though.
My editing style is crisp, real, and vibrant. The only action set I have is Fusion and I love it. I would buy them all if I was made of money.
I love bright, colorful and popped. I would love the Fusion set, it’s my favorite I’ve been drooling over forever!

While I’m still finding my style, I love bright, warm and clear.
I’m not sure I have a photography style. I just try to capture random moments in my kids’ life. I like the pics to be clean and bright. I have just started experimenting with mini-fusion. Thanks so much for the helpful tips on your blog.
I shared on my facebook page!
I guess I would say my editing style is clean, simple and occasionally dreamy. It really depends on the photo!
My favorite action is High Definition Sharpening! What a difference that makes in my photos!
And of course, I like you on FB!
First of all, of course I’m a fan of you on FB!
My style depends on what I’m photographing. Food photography – I like crisp photos with bright colors. I zoom right in on the subject, and I like to “plate” the food in unexpected ways.
When I’m photographing my 14 month old daughter (and lately some friends’ kids too, since they like my work), I like a more dreamlike quality.
Either way, I’ve been finding myself using the MCP Fusion set quite a bit lately, though I have several other MCP Action sets (bag of tricks, eye doctor/dentist, magic skin).
Food usually gets one-click color, then either different directions or define (sometimes both). Occasionally I use pendulum color tweak as well.
Children/babies get some combination from color fusion mix & match, depending on what I’m trying to convey in a particular image.
Already a fan… I’d love to win these! My style is bright and colorful. I love to play in Photoshop to add depth, richness and interest, especially with MCP’s Magical Color Finder action from Bag of Tricks. I consider my photographs to be more artistic than realistic. I have Patti’s Light Play and Supernatural collection already, and would love to get more!
I would have to say my style would be rusty and crusty. My favorite action sets are Frosted Memories and Coloring Book/Color Magic. Of course the I want it all would be awesome.
I love outdoors with a lot of color! Therefore Fusion is my favorite!
I am already a fan of your on FB. Thank you for your PSE tips and all of your offers!
My style is vivid for indoor shots, but I love to experiment with different styles on outside shots. Hubby just bought me the Fusion set, so I play with it all the time now – it’s my fave…especially the one-click color!
I am a facebook fan already and I love to use your eye action! It really adds so much to my close portraits. My style of editing is simple and clean.
Ooops. Rushed through the fine print.
My style… mostly fresh and fun, but sometimes classic and mellow.
fun, urban, real – editing spending too much time on it – may favorite MCP Action set… bag of Tricks
My style is one of “feeling/emotion.” My goal is to capture and elicit emotion with every image. MCP Fusion is a perfect fit for this!

My editing style leans towards B&W: crisp, sharp, contrast. Otherwise my style is eclectic, random, experimentation.
I like the color fusion
I love a clean photo with a little “pop” as a suprise. It just makes you smile. I loved using Bag of Tricks for elements but I have since upgraded to photoshop and have not repurchased the set. I would love to use the fusion set. I think it would be so fun and beautiful to play with!
im already a fan on fb.
clean with a hint of vintage.
I guess my style would be classic leaning towards vintage, but I experiment with different styles all the time.
My favorite set has to be Eye Dr/Dentist because you can use it with any style.

My editing style is “chameleon like”. I edit pictures based on the client. I pay attention to the little details like the their style of jewelry, clothing, decorations in their home, things they say, and I base a lot on their general personality. For example, a person that likes to dress to stand out (bold colors, edgy style, latest fashions will want their looks tp stand out and pop versus a person who dresses in soft colors, floral patterns, and noticeably would prefer to blend in. This person will often like the scenery in their pictures to be highlighted, and their pictures to be softer in color as well as contrast. In my photography as well as editing style I take all the little things most people don’t pay attention to and mold them to become what my client envisions him/herself to appear to the world.
I love the Fusion package
Awesome! I’ve found lots of excellent blog post on your site! very nice work you’ve done. thanks a lot for sharing..
Also liked on FB. The 52 project is fun…
I would describe my photography as deep, clean, & poppy.
My favorite action set is bag of tricks! LOVE<3
I do a clean edit and then what I like to call a “funky fun” version. I think the fusion action set would suit my style

I love bright, sharp, and clean images. On the other hand, I love the grunge and vintage style as well. I guess I am a man of extremes: bright and beautiful, or rough and rustic
As far as actions go, I love the color fusion set.
I would describe my photography as clean, fun, and bright!
My photography style is fun and in the moment and I like to edit with a vintage flair. =)
