Freebie Friday 11/9 S-Curves Made Easy

Today I'm doing a quick tutorial (under 5 minutes, that's gotta be a record!) on how to create an S-Curve. You may have heard of this referenced before, it's  a pretty basic and essential technique for manipulation in photoshop, so you've gotta get this down and know how to do it yourself!

WATCH THE VIDEO HERE

It's a short one, I promise!

After watching the video, go to the STORE and download the quick S-Curve action from the Freebie's section.

I'm also going to leave up the Choco Coco Mocho action, because I've gotten a lot of feedback on it and it's such a basic action I'd like to leave it up for anyone to grab if they want. So be sure to snag that one too if you haven't gotten it already.

Remember to leave me a comment.. this week's winner will get a $35 gift certificate to the store!! Have a good weekend!

Kylie,
Thanks for clearing up some of my questions about curves. I can't get the downlod though...it just send me to page with html text and nothing happens. I don't know if that helps or not.
BTW...I know Ontario! My husband is from Miiddleton, ID and my FIL worked there for years. Small world!

Wow I am the first to comment too cool.
Thanks so much for the video, your free actions and I took advantage of the coupon to buy the procrastination pack.
So much that I would still like to purchase and would love to win.
I have to say for me that your blog is an addiction and I keep referencing to it all the time for info.
Keep up the fantastic work Kylie.

Thank you so much for taking your time to share the basics and making them easy to understand.

I appricate how much time this takes and how wonderful it is that you share how to do the action - so you can either use the action or do things yourself!

Thanks so much for all you do Kylie! Love your work and your tutorials and of course the freebies. I was wondering if you can show a tutorial on how to make your own actions?

Another awesome action like always. Thanks for sharing Kylie!!

Amy (3 Peas) said...

Kylie your tutorials are the best!

Unknown said...

Kylie another great tutorial. I really didn't know anything about actions and why people did different things to their photos, like the s-curve, I just did it. After seeing all of your tutorials everything is really coming together. I am now loving actions but still needing a lot of practice. Thanks again.

Thank you SO much Kylie. I have yet to understand curves so I wouldn't even touch it. Now I can give curves a try the next time I'm in photoshop. I am learning so much from you! I really appreciate this.

P.S. You look fabulous on your night out with you hubby! Thanks for sharing the photos.
