brogues n shoes

I have been slowly sifting through all the photos on my phone and camera card (which was lost for almost a week * well done self *). I was looking for some pics to play around with a few photo editing things I want to try and I have realised that I have a lot of pictures of my feet... esp when Im wearing these little brogues. haha. Here is my feet for all of indieBerries land to see:

When I edit pics I usually run photoshop actions over them or play with tutorials that i've scavenged the internet for :)  You can download a whole bunch of free photoshop actions from Deviant art, Paint the Moon and MaybeMej. There are also some Photoshop Actions online stores that offer free trials like Totally Rad Actions. Once you have downloaded some of the actions you just open up photoshop go to your actions toolbar and on the right hand-side drop down menu you can click "load actions" and upload the actions that you have downloaded. Then you just open up your picture and run/play the action over it. Simple :)

If you're feeling a little more.. ahem... fancy, you can try out some photoshop tutorials. There are a few that I like - such as this one on The Daybook and this one on Pugly Pixel and this cross-processing one on Tutorial blog. (Actually, I have created my own actions from these tutorials by "recording" my moves in photoshop and then saving them as an Action. I would only recommend this after you've gotten the hang of the tutorial :) The Pioneer Woman and Bower Power blogs are also a super useful for photoshop Actions and tutorials.

Also, there is an awesome website called Rollip- which you can use to generate cool filters and effects on your photos and it does all the work for you. (ten points to that.)

Wow - did you get through all that mumbo-jumbo? Are your fingers falling off from clicking-death? Do you hate me for the obnoxious link-frenzy? I'm sorry. I got carried away :)
