Make Your Outdoor Maternity Sessions Pop with Color

Before and After Step-by-Step Edit: Photoshop Actions to make those Moms-To-Be Glow

The MCP Show and Tell Site is a place for you to share your images edited with MCP products (our Photoshop actions, Lightroom presets, textures and more).  We’ve always shared before and after Blueprints on our main blog, but now, we will sometimes share some favorites from Show and Tell to give these photographers even more exposure.  If you haven’t checked out Show and Tell yet, what are you waiting for?  You’ll learn how other photographers are using our products and see what they can do for your work.  And once you are ready, you can show off your own editing skills using MCP goodies.  You might even make new friends or gain a customer…. since you get to add your website address right on the page. Bonus!

Here is a sample on how to make your maternity session photographs come alive with MCP Photoshop Actions.

By: Andrea Stovern

Studio: Daisy Digital Photography

Equipment Used:  Canon EOS 7D – 24-70mm lens.

Settings: ISO-100, F4, 1/200

Software Used: PS Elements

MCP sets used: Inspire Photoshop Actions

• Steps Taken with the Inspire Set:
  • MCP Increase Exposure in Lighting Fixes
  • MCP Brilliant Color Base in Base Actions
  • MCP Epic (Cool Fall Tones) in Custom Effects
  • MCP Drama (Dark & Intense) in Custom Effects

All steps were slightly tweaked based on personal preference.  The wonderful thing about the Inspire set is it is so easy to use and the steps tell you what you can expect to happen before you even run the action.  It’s a wonderfully creative staple in any photographer’s arsenal.
