We have received several emails from photographers inquiring about our post-processing, curious if we outsource and what Photoshop Actions we use. Because of this, I decided it was the perfect time to do a Before & After post and divulge our editing process. We outsource all of our RAW editing to our personal editor. She…

Margaret Pitts Lee - Holli True have you used any of Kubota’s Lightroom Presets? I’m just wondering if there are equivalents to these you’ve used in PS5? Thanks!
Margaret Lee - Holli-Have you ever used any of Kubota’s Lightroom presets? Wondering if there are equivalents to these PS5 actions for Lightroom? I love the way these are edited, but I primarily use Lightroom. Thanks!
Debora J Mehlhaff - Holli….do you use Portraiture? Thank you.
Spicytee - That’s great… Thanks for the response… The great thing about our work is to get it right on the camera.. Then everything will become easy… Do remind me..What camera do you shoot in again ma’am?
Holli True - Debora, I don’t have Portraiture, so no, I don’t use it. None of these images have any airbrushing done on them whatsoever. If a girl has skin issues, I will clone out blemishes, when needed. If the skin needs to be smoothed a bit, I prefer to use Totally Rad Actions Pro Retouch. I never use it at 100%, I typically use it at around 30-50%. The recipes I listed above are exactly what I used- nothing more. :) I hope this helps!
Holli True - Thank you so much, Spicytee! :) I honestly don’t do a lot when it comes to editing- I try to do everything I can in-camera to achieve the shot I want. I think the key to using actions is to run them at light opacities. I used to use them at 100% and it made my images look heavy- try them at smaller opacities. :)
Debora J - Holli…do you use Portraiture? Thank you.
Spicytee - They all good.. And the images are fabulous….
I can see you didnt do much editing. Your work are always great.
Sometimes I think Kubota Actions ain’t good for everyone..
Especially the dark skin people which are my clients around here.
Nevertheless I still use them and still growing my action paks.
