Jasmine Star Photography Blog

Kimberly Hi Jasmine, First of all you have beautiful work! I was wondering if you have had any problems with the color going weird when using the detroit action at 100%. It looks fine when I process it the first time but if I reopen the file later the highlights seems to be cyan in color? Thanks in advance for your help. Thanks! Kimberly 12.05.09 - 11:09pm

Cherie-Lynn I have to tell you first off your works is beautiful and inspiring. Because of you I have recently purchased both TRA sets as well as a bunch of the Kubota action sets. Since doing so the difference in response to my photography has been overwhelming. I also love that you've posted some recipes, thank you. Cheers 12.02.08 - 3:18pm

Amanda Hey Jasmine, Great Images! I have the same question as Tracy... How on earth do you remember what you did to the images? Do you have a system for taking notes on your image processing. I often look back to my images and think that looks so cool... if only I could remember how I did that!? lol 11.28.08 - 6:39pm

Tracy Thanks for the post...question - how do you remember what actions you use on your pics? Do you write them all down? Is there a way to know? The file name???? 11.03.08 - 11:18am

Ginger Murray Thanks for sharing your processes, and answering everyone's questions! Very helpful! You know we all love your images! 10.13.08 - 10:21pm

Emily Mason Thanks for your tips! I love Kubota and have wanted Totally Rad for a long time. I must have it!! 10.13.08 - 7:54pm

Jasmine* Hi friends! So, I use the early version of The Revenge Action Set, and since then a few name changes have occurred. Uber Cross has now become Luxe Hard. Thanks in advance! :) 10.13.08 - 6:04pm

Anna Hi Jasmine!! Thanks for all your sharing!! Your imagens "talks for themselves"!! Copying the comment below... I can´t find "Uber Cross" ...Is it in a new set?Thnx :) 10.13.08 - 7:32am

Bill Wolfe I don't know which set 'Uber Cross' is in. I looked at all the actions from both sets and didn't see it. (?) 10.12.08 - 8:47pm

Jasmine* Hi friends! You can see a TON of before and after photos on the TRA site, so that's why I opted to just show the fully edited versions of the pictures. All wedding images are prettified in Lightroom, and custom retouching is done for slideshow images and album images. Hope this helps! :) 10.11.08 - 11:32am

cassandra m ohhhh la la. sweeeet post processing girl! awesome. 10.11.08 - 1:43am

SJ Styles I would also like to see some before and afters!!! Great INFO BTW 10.10.08 - 7:24pm

Kellan Never thought to mix Sparta and Pool Party....you got my gears turning. Thanks for sharing your formulas, always fun to see how others utilize TRA. I echo the others questions. Do you process to this extent all of your pictures or just a small percent for your blog and like 10% for your clients to choose from their overall proofs? 10.10.08 - 2:53pm

Allyson Magda those kids are just about the cutest ever! 10.10.08 - 2:26pm

Fran Could we see before and after photos?? they look absolutely awesome! thank you for sharing your tips. 10.10.08 - 2:03pm

Anne Nunn Photography Thanx Jasmine! I love how clear your photos are. I bought Majic sharp after your post about that one. I guess i have some other ones to buy!:) 10.10.08 - 10:05am

Megan I'm loving the flowers shots. I was really excited to see more than what you showed before of this wedding- and sometimes I over look photos that were in groupings before- like the first shot. How amazing it must be to capture events that are just SO beautiful in every detail! 10.10.08 - 9:39am

tish wow! that seems like it is a TON of work! you don't process all of the photos you take, do you? 10.10.08 - 8:49am

Cortney These are absolutely gorgeous! Would you be willing to show us the straight-out-of-the-camera shots so we can compare? 10.10.08 - 8:24am

Andrea I have both sets of TRAs...but what is Uber Cross? Am I missing something here? :) Thanks for the post J*! 10.10.08 - 6:46am

Lara Wow! These are awesome - I also mainly use Kubota but play quite a bit with both TRA sets. BTW, I love what you did to #4 - the tone is so cold, but the picture still reads warm! Incredible! 10.10.08 - 5:49am

lin Thanks J* for providing insight into your post production! \(^.^)/ 10.09.08 - 9:05pm

Matt Reoch Just like Katrinas inquiry - Jasmine are you presenting all of your images with post production or just a selection of images with post work to your clients? OR are you just doing post production work for your blog, websites, etc? Totally curious. Its a lot of work, as you know... 10.09.08 - 5:49pm

Amy Starks I absolutely love these actions. They really do take images to a whole new level! Thank you for sharing your perspective! 10.09.08 - 5:14pm

Navy Sou Hey Jasmine! I never know when to use Not-So-Magic Glasses from TRA and I see that you used it in one of the photos here. Can you give any advice as to when and why it can be put to use? 10.09.08 - 4:38pm

Katrina James Thank for sharing! Just wondering how you present your images to the client? Are they all retouched before you show them? 10.09.08 - 4:36pm

kymberli q. Hi Jasmine, Do you think one time you could show the before and after to see what type of difference it made on your photos? All of your color images look so nice, I can't see it making much difference on some - but maybe that's the power of them...not sure. 10.09.08 - 2:35pm
