Happy Tuesday! Hope everyone had a fantastic MLK day! If you are like me, it looked a lot like a regular work day ;) but either way, I like an excuse to celebrate a good thing.
So today I have A few random ramblings/announcements etc. etc...
#1) We are happy to announce the winner of the Kelly Moore Bag Giveaway from last week goes to Beth T!!! Congrats Beth!! And thank you to all of you who participated via twitters and comments! It is such a killer bag, I wish I could send one to each of you. But since I can't, feel free to put one on your wish list.
#2) Since we get a lot of emails about our photo processing and I just don't have time to answer all the questions individually we figured we would try something new today and give you guys a taste of how we process with Jesh de Rox Colorshift Actions & Boutwell's Totally Rad Actions. These action sets are a major part of our photo enhancement process. I would encourage you to pick up either one of these fabulous action sets. They are on "Sarah's list of favorite things." They are huge time savors and are just well made actions.
Image #1 (Black & White) is processed using Jesh de Rox Colorshift Actions using one of my very favorite black & white actions Evening Obscura run at 100% with the darks pulled up a bit. Then I always like to toss on a little grain to give the image some texture, we love using Boutwell's Totally Rad Actions Grainstorm on 20% opacity.
Image #2 (Color Image) is processed by first running Totally Rad Actions B&W Red Channel action on 9%. Then we ran one of the Colorshift Actions, A Winter Sun on 34% and Voila!
Hope that helps some of you out! Those are a few of our very favorite actions and we use both action sets in combination for most everything!

I know this is an older post, but I was hoping to revisit the post/color processing on these two images. You mention the actions you used to achieve the "look", but what about even before the actions? What kind of white balance, color correction (not grading ;-), contrast, clarity, etc (if any) do you do to your photos as a foundation before you grade them? Thanks in advance! Love your work.
Awe yeah, those are my two fav, most often used sets too! I love how every photographer comes up with beautiful and unique recipes even if we're using similar tools. Thanks for sharing!
Very cool post, any help with post processing is definitely helpful and appreciated!
You just made my day! :)
Thank you!
thank you!
Aww what a sweet surprise:)
Thanks for the insight on your workflow. The pics are pretty hot. Hopefully one day soon I'll be able to make it to one of your workshops. Now that would be a fun time!
LOVE these! :)
Love the way your images always inspire...I just have one annoying technical question...just wondering how you keep your images so beautifully consist. Do you create droplets, batch process or take each image into photoshop separately?
Love hearing about your secrets because your photos always look great!!!
I always love seeing how other Photographers process their photos. Thanks for sharing!
