Last summer I spoke at BlogHer in NYC about editing photos. In the audience was a professional photographer that I've been following online for years, someone that inspires me daily. How's that for intimidating? Rachel Devine isn't only an amazing photographer she also has a kind heart and creates a number of photoshop actions (photoshop actions are photo editing for dummies) that allows a hobbyist like me to take their photos SOOC (straight out of camera) and make them shine like a professional photographers, with just one click. I've said it before and I will say it again, I can't function as a photographer without the help of photoshop actions. I'm still very much a hobbyist that needs a crutch.

Rachel has come out with a new set of actions called "Spring Cleaning". Needless to say, her photoshop actions are amazing.

SOOC on left. "Windowsill" action on right.

Isn't that amazing? Such a subtle but awesome difference in just one click! I know people are intimated by photoshop; but, all I did was open up this photo, click on the WINDOWSILL action and got instant results that are print worthy in under a minute.

Rachel is offering a 50% discount on her "Spring Cleaning" photoshop actions (use the code: spring2011) and giving away her Spring Cleaning actions to one lucky Classy Chaos reader. Just let me know what one spring photo you would like to edit with her actions. I want to hear about it.  Giveaway ends May 17th at midnight where one winner will be chosen by random.

Disclosure: I was given the photoshop actions to review and to giveaway. I would never spend *this* much time writing about something if I didn't think it was valuable to share.
