Somebody told me

I was asked the other day how important photoshop is to our final images. I’d have to say that while photoshop doesn’t make an image it does bring it closer to the way I visualized it. A good photograph can be made into a great photograph with photoshop, a bad photograph will just look worse with photoshop. Here’s a quick before and after of an image from Matt and Eva’s wedding at The Cradle.

For those photographers that asked, I use a bunch of homemade actions to get that effect, and some dodge and burn. I do have some free actions and textures for download.
