I want to start my first post on Andie’s blog with an introduction for those of you sitting there wondering who the heck I am and why I am writing on this blog.
In short, my name is Jen Beck and I am often found under the pseudo-name of pokeygirl5 on various message boards. I have been a scrapbooker, digital scrapbooker and photographer for numerous years now. I currently shoot with a Canon 7 and utilize Photoshop CS4 and Adobe Lightroom2 to edit my photos. I have three kids, 2 boys and a girl and am happily married to Tim for almost 10 years now. I am excited to join Andie’s team and can’t wait to utilize her amazing designs and workflows.
So… enough with the intro and onto Andie’s upcoming product release which I am in *love* with! Being the person of routine I am, I often edit solely in PSCS4 and forget to utilize all of the goodness the LR has to offer. Thankfully, Andie pushed me out of my comfort zone and reminded me why LR has a place in the editing market. Her upcoming release of LR presets are simply amazing and added a fresh, fun element to my photos that I wasn’t achieving with my massive collection of PS actions. For the following photo, I utilized the upcoming “Work It- Toys 110″ My daughter, normally a totally girly- girl donned her brother’s hat and gave me attitude. This preset gave me the perfect tone the echo her sentiment, dark and moody but enough light to still allow a hint of sweetness to shine through. This is just one of five in the “Toys” preset which in turn is only one of 8 new presets that will soon be hitting the store. Be sure to check all of them out- there is sure to be something for every photo you take.
