Family Session edited with MCP INSPIRE

Recently I shot this beautiful family.  They are preparing to leave Jacksonville and wanted their time here documented before they left.  What better time than to try my hand at MCP Inspire Action Set!

Here is my before photo:

This image was captured with my Canon 6D in Raw format.

Edits in ACR included:

-33 Highlights

+50 Shadows

+28 Blacks

-20 Clarity (for softening)

I then opened in Photoshop CC using MCP Inspire to edit.

Brilliant Color Base at 30%

Silk Blend at 10 %

Drama (Dark and Intense)  and painted on Contrast and Pop, Darken, Vivid Color Pop and Blurry on the outer parts of the image and Theatrical (Deep Burnt Color) and painted on Shallow Depth of Field as shown here:

I then added a Curves layer, inverted the layer so I could lighten just their eyes a bit.

Then I cropped it just a bit and here is the final product!  A subtle and beautiful edit with MCP INSPIRE actions for Photoshop.
