MCP Inspire™ Photoshop Actions
Photography fads come and go, so how can you ensure that your images will transcend the trends? We’re proud to introduce MCP Inspire, a new set of actions that puts a timeless twist on the latest trends (think Vintage Chanel, not shoulder pads!)
Love the muted tones of a matte image? Obsessed with bright, airy edits? Prefer bold, rich, high-contrast looks? Whatever your current post-processing passion is, MCP Inspire has an action that can help you embrace and enhance the latest trends while staying true to your own personal style. We spent months developing, designing, testing, and fine-tuning these actions to bring you a set of actions that will instantly transform your images -- without losing any luster in years to come.
MCP Inspire begins with the Brilliant base action, which provides a clean and well-balanced image in both color and black-and-white. The finished result is strong enough to stand alone, or it can act as the perfect foundation for your favorite effects.
The set includes 99 actions to polish and perfect your photos, including:
• LIGHTING FIXES: Rescue highlights, brighten shadows, and more to create luminous images.
• QUICK LOOKS: Give your images a sunny vibe, a dreamy haze, a dramatic cross-processing effect and more with 27 different effects for color photos. Or add metallic tones, bold contrast, or film grain to your black-and-white images with seven B&W actions.
• MOOD RINGS: Instantly add overlays and toning to your images. Can’t decide which look will work? This set includes mix-and-match mood ring actions to help you find your mood!
• CUSTOM LOOKS, SPECIAL EFFECTS, COLOR TRICKS, POLISHING ACTIONS…AND MORE! A huge collection of color tricks, special effects, and finishing effects will complete your image. Urban, matte, bold, hazy – whatever your style, you’ll find it here. You can also add rainbow flare, fix glowing grass, paint on blurry backgrounds, add streams of light, pop or change colors, resize for web, and more! And as always, each layer is fully customizable so you can adapt your favorite actions to suit your style.
How many hours would you have to invest to master all these toning techniques? We know your time is valuable, so MCP Inspire was designed to help you spend less time in front of the computer and more time finding inspiration and creating images you love. For only $149.99, you’ll have everything at your fingertips to masterfully edit your images and turn your photos into true art that your family, or your clients’ families, will treasure forever.
And in case you need some extra inspiration to take the leap, the MCP Inspire set will be available at an introductory offer of $129.00 for a very limited time.
Ralph Waldo Emerson said it best: “Every artist was once an amateur.” Sometimes it just takes a little inspiration to get to the next level.
