photoshop tip | “remove red” action

After applying actions on a picture, sometimes it leaves red shadows on their skin especially on ears, eyes, and below their noses.  Do you want to know how to make your own action to remove/fade those unwanted redness in skin?  Here’s a step by step for you!

1(For image above)

-Make sure your Actions window is visible.

**To make sure your Actions window is up on your Photoshop, click on Window on the top menu bar between View and Help.  Make sure there is a checkmark next to Actions.

-click on the top right corner of your Actions window.

2(For image above)

-First you have to make sure, the Button Mode is unchecked for you to start.

-Click on New Action3(For image above)

-Name your action.  I’m calling this Remove Red since well…that’s what we’re doing. 😉

-If you want to have a keyboard shortcut for this, you can pick a specific function key.  I’m choosing not to for this example.4(For image above)

-You can choose a specific color for this action for when your actions window is on Button Mode.  For this one, I’m choosing Red.  (I will show you a few steps later what I’m talking about.)

5(For image above)

-Once you are done, click Record.6(For image above)

-In your Adjustments window, click on Selective Color icon (4 triangles in a square).

**To make sure your Adjustments window is up on your Photoshop, click on Window between View and Help on the top menu bar.  Make sure there is a checkmark next to Adjustments.
7(For image above)

-In the Properties window,  make sure you have Reds for the Colors.  Slide the slider to the left to -35.

**Don’t just type in -35.  The action won’t work then.
8(For image above)

-Go to your top menu bar.  Click on Image…then Adjustments…then Invert.

9(For image above)

-Click on the Stop button icon to stop the recording.

10(For image above)

-Just so you can see where your action is now, click on the top right corner of the Actions window.

11(For image above)

-Click on Button Mode.  12(For image above)

-There’s your Remove Red action you just made!  So the next time you want to get rid of some redness, just click on that Remove Red action button.  🙂

13(For image above)

-Ok, now let’s get back to where we left off after making the action.  Make sure you are on your Brush tool and have that clicked (see middle arrow).

-Make sure your Foreground color is white (bottom arrow).

-I have my opacity brush at 70% (top arrow).  It’s your preference what opacity you would like.

-Now start using your brush to remove those red areas!

-Check out the before and after of the Remove Red action below.  The left is before using the action, and the right image is after using the Remove Red action on the skin.

What happened to my little girl?! I blinked, and now she’s a young lady!  I love how we can wear the same clothes, but I think I’m more excited about it than her. ;-) #ad  @walmartfashion Free Assembly summer collection with its’ bright summer colors is now available in store and online. They have so many red, white, and blue pieces that would look so cute for the Fourth of July! Check out the new blog post by going to the link in my profile. #FreeAssembly #WalmartFashion

Thanks for 200k followers! Did you know that I worked for a big four accounting firm right after  college, became a photographer, then a stay at home mom, and now a blogger/influencer? Never thought posting pictures of my house consistently would lead to opportunities and this career path.  Love how I can be creative, and I’m surprised that I’m actually good at it. 😂 Now let’s get to 500k…I might be retired by the time I get there 🤭. Swipe left to see a throwback screenshot of when I only had 500 followers…that was in 2015!

If I manifest it, do you think I’d get my own product line? 😂 I don’t even know why I posed like this, but when I saw this image I’m like I’m posing like those are my products 🤪. Someday!

@nwilliams_82 and I celebrated 16 years of marriage on May 20th!  I was saying to Nick a lot that morning "well, this is 16 years"... waking up to a kid between us in bed, Bash third wheeling our breakfast date, talking about how we have a teenager now and that our youngest is going to be in 1st grade next year, celebrated our anniversary at 2 baseball games...yup this is 16 years, and I love the life we have.  The last 16 years haven't always been easy or perfect, but we've learned a lot and grown from all the obstacles.  I'm going to end it with something that came up...thanks for putting up with how I turn on the hallway or closet lights when I'm ready to get into bed knowing that it'll wake you up.  I can't help I'm a scaredy cat. ;-) 😘
