This is the motherload value pack of Mama's Actions that include over 40 actions to facilitate your retouching workflow! Many included are on this page and are sold as "singles" but there are several more in the Studio Portrait Pack! Also a bunch of production actions to help you finesse or output your images, along with some more actions to lighten, darken or change the color of a studio seamless background
All regular and Silk & Stone powders, in the Pack, work as "composite" powders, meaning you can run them at any point in the Layers palette or workflow regardless if a background is highlighted. The regular powders of Original, Lite, and Ultra Lite are the same "formulas" as found in the single bundles, just with more versatility because of the "composite" feature.
Generally works best on High Res images (6 MP - 12 MP) Click on the zoomable picture at the top of this page.
Please note: Lenoir Lashes are a separate product and are NOT included in Mama's Studio Portrait Pack, but are included in the Bundle Special!

| 1. Duplicate & Flatten - This will create a duplicate of the current document and flatten the copy of it. |
|
| 2. Assign Colormatch then Convert to sRGB - This is a trick Mama has used for years for a quick bump for portrait images that have the camera embedded sRGB profile. The assign/convert will typically brighten the skin tones and eliminate the greenish/blue cast on skin that so often is present. The action converts back to sRGB with the "new" brighter & peachier look! More info on Assign & Convert Color Profiles HERE! |

| 9. Mama's Sparkles This action will create a Group/Set with a Mask, above the currently highlighted layer. Paint with an Airbrush Soft Round with white to reveal the sparkles, paint with black to conceal them. You can also adjust the Hue & Brightness/Contrast of the sparkles by double-clicking on the Color Fill & Brightness/Contrast layers contained inside the Group/Set. While this was formulated for glitzy eyeshadows, you can get creative and apply in other areas. The glitter works best on high res images (6 to 12 MP) where the face is at least 1/4th or greater of document area. If used on a smaller 72 ppi image for web display, the sparkles don't look like sparkles, they'll look like blobs. Also will look like blobs on high res images if the faces are too small! This is best suited for close up portraiture |
