Hi, I am Melissa Koehler, a Lifestyle and Wedding photographer in San Diego, CA. One of the best things that I have done to push my photos to the next level is by using Totally Rad Actions. All of the actions are awesome, but the actions I use the most are, Claire-fy (found in the second set), Yin/Yang (in the first set), Oh Snap (also in the first set) and one of my favorites, Select O Pop (in the second set). TRA allow me to quickly and easily make my photos even better. I love them because they allow me to adjust just how much I want to add to my photos.

Another great item I have been using lately are the new Totally Rad Dirty Pictures. These things ROCK!! Here’s a before and after with the textures:

I used the TRA Dirty Texture Cinnamon Windsor and also used TRA Clairefy 90% and Oh Snap at 89%.

I love the “feel” that the textures give paired along with the actions. Having these actions is a must!
