It’s action time!

Now if you use desaturate along with the 95 action, which is the image resize action, you have just learned how to do the image edit that last year alone, made me 12k from model portfolio development. At first this was done to images I liked, soon, models started specifically asking for this look, so of course once something is in demand and changes how I would normally edit a photo, I gotta charge ya.
If you use these two, post them up so I can see what you did!

I am envious of photogs who have one solid working workflow. You guys all suck! I never look at one pic the same as the others, meaning, my workflow from one photo to the next won't work. About the only thing that I do to almost every single Model/Person photo, is adjust the photo width.
Digital is pretty bad for distorting things. More so than film imho. One of the things it does is make photos wide. I've found that by adjusting the width of a photo, it really compliments the model! Here's a before width photo:

As you can see, by my stacking them, you can even see the difference.
