CoffeeShop "Facebook Cover Set #29"!


Today I have a new layered Facebook cover that is completely customizable. It comes with three different background options (distressed, damask, solid color) and the photo frames and logo ribbon colors can be changed.

You can also move the photo frames around if needed or add your own digital paper or texture to the background.

The cover is a psd file so you can add your images using clipping masks (tutorial and free action).

I want to thank Jill Wellington (Etsy ShopFacebookBlogYouTube VideosPixabay) for allowing me to use her images in the examples above.

CoffeeShop "Autumn Afternoon" Digital Paper Set!


Today it actually looks like Autumn in our part of Texas. It is raining and in the 70's this morning! The kids (including my youngest, Piper the puppy) are running around outside like crazy folk enjoying the wet morning. The last few days it was in the 90's, so this is such a nice relief and worth the wait to start school.

I put together a new set of Autumn-inspired digital papers that I hope you will enjoy using. Like most of my freebies, you can use these any way you like without attribution, just don't resell them "as is". I want to keep them free. :-)

CoffeeShop "Golden Afternoon Bliss" Photoshop/PSE Action!


Today I have a new action that I think you will really love using on your own images. I call it "Golden Afternoon Bliss" which describes the edit pretty well. This action is absolutely gorgeous on fall images/portraits but also looks stunning on so many different types of images, giving them a beautiful warm artistic edit. It also enhances the yellows/reds/oranges/greens in your image and has an optional Matte Effect layer.

I have other fall-inspired actions and designs, and you can also download my "Fall Frenzy" action which I posted last week.

I used several gorgeous images from Unsplash on this post (forest, couple walking, ferris wheel, running on beach, field of grass).

NOTE: You might have noticed I changed the name of this action a few times in this post, but I was too lazy to make new screenshots. :-)

If you want to download this action along with hundreds of my other actions in one download and help support my blog, you can grab them all here. A perk of purchasing my download packs is you get free updates up to two years after your purchase, and I usually update the packs weekly!!! Plus the download pack includes premium actions that aren't posted for download here on my blog.







CoffeeShop "Golden Afternoon Bliss" Photoshop/PSE Action Tutorial:


I am going to walk you through how I edited this beautiful original image.


 I ran "Fall Late Afternoon" and this is what the image looks like without any adjustments.


One of the nice things about this action is that it allows you to add a gorgeous warm tint separately to the highlights and shadows of each image. I clicked to turn on the "Golden Afternoon Deluxe (shadows)" layer.


Next I clicked to turn on the "Golden Afternoon Deluxe (highlights)" layer. It is set on 40% opacity.




I dialed it down to 25% opacity. I think the sky looks amazing now. But I find the shadows are too red.


So I went back to "Golden Afternoon Deluxe (shadows)" and turned the opacity from 40% down to 15%.


I didn't turn on "Boost" because I didn't need any extra contrast, but I did turn on the "Matte Effect" layer and opened the Levels adjustment pane. If you want to fine-tune this layer, move the Shadows and Output Levels slides to taste (circled above).

These setting should be adjusted to each image, and I wanted to show you how I go back and forth and play with opacities and such until I am satisfied with the edit.
