The Innocence collection is specifically geared towards editing pictures of children and lately I have been using it on all of my family photos. I’m going to walk you through how I have done a few quick edits using the Greater Than Gatsby Innocence Collection. Assuming you have Photoshop (or Lightroom if you want to get the Presets), Greater Than Gatsby is perfect for you. I have sat down with at least 5 different friends of mine who are parents and who wanted to be able to simply and quickly edit everyday photos of their kids and families. So no worries if you have no idea what you’re doing.
When I first bought the Greater Than Gatsby Actions, I figured out how to use them by watching their video tutorials. You DO have to have some basic knowledge of Photoshop (but I mean, really basic). One question I get a lot is “Are these actions suited for me? Or are they just for professionals?” And my answer is that these action (and presets) are for ANYONE who wants to easily and beautifully enhance their photos. You can create your own actions in Photoshop fairly easily, but if you’re like me, you don’t have the extensive knowledge or patience to fiddle around with ALL of the different adjustments that can be made in Photoshop. Then on all of your other photos, you can simple click one button that will automatically make the same adjustments to all of your other photos. SO imagine that while editing a photo, you record your steps as you brighten the photo up a bit, you add a vignette, and you adjust the vibrance. Photoshop actions are simply a series of recorded steps taken to alter a photo.
While you can do some truly spectacular things in Photoshop, especially with the Greater Than Gatsby Actions, I like to keep it all pretty simple and organic which is why my before and after photos aren’t anything too drastic. As a photographer, I have also grown and my method of editing family photos has grown with me. They’ve changed things quite a bit and added some new actions to their collection. I posted about them last year and have gotten so so many questions and emails about the actions. Welp, it’s time for my yearly post about how freakin’ much I LOVE the Greater Than Gatsby Photoshop actions.
