This is a guest post by Meggie from ShoeString TightRope
Recently a fellow blogger, Dear Lizzy, posted about the actions she uses in Photoshop. Lizzy goes to Totally Rad and I couldn’t help but try it out! I used a couple of actions that are introduced before the screenshot, and the original photo is compared on the right! My sister (yes, my claim to fame: I’m related to this young woman!) is the beauty who is in the photos!
