ISO: Free/Cheap Post-Production Actions

[LeeAndra]

Hey gurlies!

I took my BFF's engagement pictures this weekend (you can see them on my FB page if you like) and need some free/cheap post-production actions stat.

Specifically, I am in need of an action that will pop the colors and make them true to life w/o being over-the-top artistic/funky. I have PDub's actions, but they are not popping the color as much as I would like them to. I took all the photos outside on an overcast evening, so everything is a bit light and washed out.

Link me up! Show me the way!!

TIA!

this isnt a action but its a plug in filter for photoshop, it has all sorts of cool things you can do to photos!! it has a couple that just make the colors POP. I love it and best of all its FREE!!!

I love these by Pioneer Woman. I think my favorite is the Fresh and Colorful.

I like Lauren Barden's actions at the LilyPad. I use Color Pop on many of my photos. They are fully customizable, which I really like.

Paint the Moon designs at Oscraps has some fab ones that are pretty reasonable (though I got them on NSD on top of a 30% coupon she offered through her newsletter that sweetened the deal for me)

I've heard such amazing things about those actions. I'm totally trying to save up for them in the future.

I asked for them for my birthday. Crossing fingers and toes that Jay gets them for me- even sent him a direct link....just hit BUY EM, so easy! LOL

If you keep an eye on Chenin's blog, there are sometimes coupon codes for $20 off or something similar. http://boutwellstudio.com/blog/ And the eye candy photography is a bonus too.
