The Pioneer Woman

This morning I found this totally cute website called "Pioneer Woman." This talented individual has tips and tricks from everything to cooking, home and garden, home schooling, and my favorite: PHOTOGRAPHY! Under her photography sections she offered FREE photoshop actions. For anyone who isn't familiar with photoshop actions, they can be used to speed up repetitive tasks, make quick work of time consuming edits, and give you a little creative inspiration. Anyway, they totally rock! Here is one of her actions called b&w beauty that I used on this photo of Sophie. Now this might sound silly to some, and it may just look like a basic b&w photo. Actually there were over 6 steps in making this photo look like this and all I had to do was hit the play button, and boom, there it was, all in one click of the button. And since my computer is a P.O.S and super slow it seriously saved me probably 8-10 minutes. I know, I am a dork, but this is so exciting. Actions can cost upwards of $1200 for complete sets, and some are around $50 a piece so it is really cool that she just puts it out there for others to enjoy. By the way Jenny Z...I thought she said she lived in Tulsa, OK. Ever heard of her?
