Admittedly I’m not the best at removing red eye from pictures. However, I learned a quick way to convert the picture to a black and white using actions in Photo Shop.

The original.

The I ran the following actions I found over at Coffee Shop.

Coffee Shop Perfect Portrait
Coffee Shop Cream Chocolate Black and White

In the black and white action I altered the curves settings to something I liked then continued on with the action.

Presto!

This has to be easiest way to alter red eye if you like black and white pictures.

I discovered a number of excellent actions from artfans which I applied in several different layers to these images. Then I found a few more over here too that I used.

I probably should have made the building a little more halloweeny but ran out of time. Some days that really is the story of my life.
Check out some more alterations at Dolce’s.

 Labor Day came and went leaving behind the refreshing sense of rest. Hard to believe, after cleaning 2 bathrooms, the house, and mopping up 4 year old puke.

However, that’s ok. While sitting atop the propane tank watching W.W. wisk around in first gear on his 4-wheeler my step daughter snapped this shot of E.C.  With a little bit of action adjustment from Pioneer Woman using her fresh and colorful and quick edge burn combined with portrait perfect from CoffeeShop and a little layer adjustment in levels I do believe I have a keeper. 

A restless hen has roosted on our property. Behind the air compressor, amidst the clutter of spent motor oil containers hides a nest.  The nagging wife wonders how difficult a trip to recycle the oil really is. Yet feels pleased by this odd spot to find chicken eggs.

W.W. finds endless fascination with them. I caught him transporting the eggs around in his wagon one afternoon. Accidentally breaking one in the transport from nest to wagon. Long talks ensued about what they would hatch into. The hen running anxiously from one side of the horse pen to the other. Waiting on rushed yellow feet for their return.

And yes, I added another green image.
