It's easy to make skies, grass, and landscapes look divine with a few actions from the Original Totally Rad Action set.  These are also great for images with people, so long as you use the built-in layer mask to take care of the skin tone shifts that inevitably happen.

As the Cake Boss would say, "Baddabing!"

I watched this and promptly made fun of Doug for sitting in a chair, gesturing about like the opening host on Masterpiece Theatre. (Perhaps your grandparents didn't force you to watch PBS when you spent the night, but mine did. And the best part was the opener.)

Pro Retouch, our famous retouching action from the Original Totally Rad Action set, is put through the wringer in this video tutorial. Creator Doug Boutwell shares the ins and outs of simple, effective, and non-plastic-y portrait retouching in this tutorial.

If you haven't yet scored a copy of Pro Retouch (and the rest of the Original Action set!), you can pick up a copy here. The actions are compatible with Photoshop CS2, CS3, CS4, and CS5.




Oh, and don't forget our Facebook fans get a rad promo code, exclusive video content, and access to TRA House Party planning!

I really love to run Bitchin BW, turn that layer off, then run either BAMF or Brooklyn, and then figure out which of those should be the top-faded out layer on other. It really makes for a neat combo. ...but of course, you already know this I bet. Thank you for being action-creating geniuses. It's definitely made me a better artist with kickass tools.
