Ready?
Let's start with this straight out of camera image:
First, let’s play the action Cotton Candy. We opened this action folder to tweak it a bit and remove some of the pink tones—you can do this, too! All of our actions are customizable.
Next, let’s bring the focus in on the sweet little subject here. We are going to play the action, All in Focus. Woop! We are really getting close to a beautifully edited and polished photo!
OK, we’re almost done with this edit. See how easy this is? Just press play and watch the magic happen! We are going to add a bit more contrast to polish this image off nicely. Let’s play Cut the Haze and raise the overall layer opacity to 60%. Lookin' good!
Last we are going to make this image absolutely dreamy by adding a sunburst. We are going to play the Sunray Applicator Action, select our desired brush that’s included in the collection and “stamp” it onto the top of our image. Voila!
Here is the before and after so you can see the beautiful changes the Pastel Dreams Actions made.
Are you ready for another light and airy edit? We are too! Lets start off with this clean image, straight out of camera.
Next, we’re going to run a combination of actions that beautifully complement each other (and your images!) by selecting the Combo #1 action.
Wow! We just love how much fun that was! And for one last tweak, let’s select the Sun Up action that just played as part of the combo and raise the layer opacity to 100%.
Again, here is the before and after so you can see the beautiful changes the Pastel Dreams Actions made.
We’re done! That was so much fun and yes, it was really that easy! We know that you are excited to start digging into this collection yourself so we will let you go have a little fun of your own!
