Clean Color by Erin Cobb

One of my dear friends created an amazing photo editing tutorial, and she’s here today to tell you all about it! Plus, there’s a giveaway – so stay tuned!

The Best Way to Edit Photos

*I’m letting my sweet, talented friend Erin take over my blog today while I plan a fun surprise for you guys next week. :) Take it away, Erin!

Hi Guys! My name is Erin Cobb and I’ve had the honor of knowing Amanda for about two years now. She’s truly one of the most creative, kind, and inspiring people I know. Basically everything you *think* you know about her is actually true!

I am a professional photographer in Huntsville, Alabama which is how I’ve gotten to know Amanda. I also have a couple blogs of my own (The Pigbear and The Erin Cobb Photography Blog) although neither are anything close to what Amanda has created here at KevinandAmanda.com. I’m so proud of the amazing niche she’s carved out for herself in the great big blogosphere!

I’ve been honing my craft for about 6 years now and in the course of that time I’ve gotten thousands of emails from people asking questions ranging from shooting to business to how to win the Baby Gap Casting Call. No joke. (A photograph I took of my daughter, Sarah, actually won the Baby Gap Casting Call in 2006 but I can’t say I know the secret to winning!) Far and away though the thing I get asked about the most is my editing process. Finally last year I launched Clean Color – a product that answers that question in its entirety.

Clean Color is a workflow video tutorial designed to show you my image editing process from beginning to end. There are two versions — one for Full Photoshop and one for Photoshop Elements. There is also a bundled version which contains both the Full Photoshop video and the Photoshop Elements video. In addition to the comprehensive videos (each are roughly two hours in length) you’ll also receive the shortcut actions I’ve created to use in my editing process, all of the image files showcased in the video so you can play along at home, and an appendix detailing how to get the most out of the video tutorial and where to go for additional resources.

It covers almost every topic in Photoshop that you can think of – color balance, levels, curves, skin retouching, liquifying, cloning, cropping, sharpening, and much, much more. And in a nutshell, it shows you how to do this..

 

 

And the best part of all…you’ll learn how to do all of that WITHOUT ACTIONS… except the ones you learn to create yourself. Have you ever wondered how cool it would be to learn Photoshop, and really understand it? Well, now you can. =)

The Giveaway (Winner Announced!)

Head over to the  Clean Color Store to learn more about how this two hour long video tutorial can change your editing process today. But before you do, drop your comment in the comments section for your chance to win a bundled version of Clean Color which includes both the full Photoshop version as well as the Elements version.

(Have no fear…if you don’t win the Bundle just use the code kevinandamanda to get $20 off either version now through March 25th…)

 

Time’s Up!

The winner of the Clean Color Photoshop and Elements Bundle is #387 Tiffany. Congrats Tiffany! I’ve sent you an email.

 

How to Enter

One winner will receive the Clean Color Photoshop and Elements BUNDLE ($170 value).

To be entered to win the Clean Color Giveaway, all you have to do is leave a comment on this post. What do you love taking pictures of the most? Family? Pets? Food? Travel?

Contest ends Saturday, March 17, 2012 at 8 pm CST. One entry per person, please. Winners will be chosen by Random.org and notified by email. Giveaway provided by Erin Cobb Photography.

 

Thanks for letting me share Amanda! =)

Good luck!

  17. Morgan B

    I love photographing my dog (a 1-1/2 year old Morkie), as well as all of the places my husband I travel (we’re going to Belgium this summer!). Understanding photoshop would be fantastic! I only know some of the basics right now. Thanks for a great giveaway! :)

  18. Lisa

    Sometimes when I use an action I feel a little too lazy to just experiment with the photo! Would be so great to actually know what to know! :)
    I love taking pictures of the city I live in at night, my little 10-month-old niece or street art.
    AH I would so loooove to get the giveaway :):):)

  19. Melissa

  26. April Southers

  125. Ada

    What a generous gift! I LOVE child portraiture and also capturing the little things of everyday life with my own children (ages 3, 5, 7, 8)…you know, those things we think we’ll never forget but really do…like how the youngest is always hiding behind the same chair in the corner with the snack she once again stole from her brother’s backpack and the pile of wrappers she always leaves there! :)

  134. jo keifer

    I have 5 precious grandsons that I love to photograph. Would love to take those ordinary pictures and turn them into something so professional looking.

  143. Sara

    I love taking pictures of family and food. It’s really fun to take pictures of family with food! But I have gotten into my 2 little nieces and trying to master little kids picture taking!

  144. JulieBee in Iowq

    Hi Erin. Nice to meet you! I just put on my list of goals yesterday to learn how to edit my photos. I have both PSE 5 and PSCS 5 and don’t know how to use either one of them really, but PSCS 5 especially. I would love to learn how use both of them to improve my photos – fairly quickly. I’m so clueless. Winning your prize sounds like just the ticket! :o)
    My most favorite subjects are children – my own when they were little – now not so much since they hate it and don’t cooperate so they just make me mad…. so now it’s my grand-nephew, my husband, etc., then after that, nature. I hate pictures taken of me because I suddenly seem to gain 80 pounds that I didn’t remember was packed on me… ick.

  145. Jenni Anderson

    I’m far from being considered a photographer but I adore snapping photos of my family. Would love to learn more on photography.

  146. AmandaK

    My boys and family are my favorite! What a fun class, I’m always wanting my images to look how I feel they should b their best!

  147. Heidi

    My favorite photo sessions are of children. They are so real and spontaneous! I have some knowledge of editing, but it mostly comprises of actions. I’d LOVE to learn how to edit with such fresh colors as in the photos you have here. LOVE IT!!!

  148. Erica R.

    Much to their dismay, I enjoy taking pictures of my two children the most! (So much so that a co-worker jokingly once asked, “Do your kids ever see your face?!?!”)

  149. Leslie Kiley

    I love taking pictures of my wonderful family! I am not the greatest but always want to learn and do more! This program sounds like just the boost I need! Now with things in my life as they are , it is even more important to document everything!

  150. Peggy

    I love the color in your pictures. I would love to win the bundle but either way, will be getting the video. I have two grandsons and I never get tired of taking their pictures.

  151. Jennifer E

    My son is my favorite photography subject – we were so blessed to have him, and I don’t want to forget a single moment of this precious time!

  152. Karlea

    I’m so excited about this giveaway!!! Crossing my fingers. It’s awesome! My favorite picture subjects are my kids…especially my two year old twins. I am happy every time I see their sweet faces!! I’d love to learn how to make their photos pop!

  154. BarbB

    I love taking pictures of my kids! I also like to take macro shots of flowers and scenery. I like to make poster prints or canvas prints of the scenery/macro shots.

  155. Jennifer

    I love taking pictures in the moment – especially of the kids. I sneak up on them all the time trying to capture what they are doing without posing. So many candids – love it!

  156. Gayle M.

    I love taking pictures of my grandkids. They grow so fast! I want to be able to look back and remember them as they grew up. I try to capture all the little things they learn as they are growing ie. crawling, eating food, climbing etc. Any editing help would be a plus!

  157. Lynn

    I like taking pictures of my travels. I would love to take good pictures of my spirited Brittany Spaniel, but he does not cooperate. Thanks for the giveaway!

  158. Hope Strickland

    My boys! Even though they are getting to the age where they don’t want their picture taken at all and actually hide from me :(

  159. Karen P.

    I love to take pictures of my two boys! Only photo editing has been what is available through iphoto. Would love your help in that department :)

  160. Lauren

    This giveaway makes me so terribly happy!! I just baught a Canon Rebel T3i a few months ago and I am totally new to the photography world. I would LOVE to learn how to edit pictures the right way.

    I love taking pictures of nature the most, but family is definitely a close second. I hope to be as amazing you someday at photography!

    1. Carolyn S

      Woops, forgot to say that my favorite subjects are my children. Too excited about the possibility of really knowing what to do to create great photographs!

  161. Sharie

    Hi Erin!! I don’t really know what to call it but I love taking pictures of my family and….for lack of a better term, objects. Babies hands, babies feet, flowers at a wedding, candles with a star filter, the back of the wedding dress. You probably get the idea!
    Thanks for sharing!

  162. Malissa M

    Ohh I SO want to win this! My hubby bought me Photoshop for Christmas after months of pleading and it’s still sitting in the box b/c I’m so intimidated by it! My favorite subjects are my kiddos… I have a 6 year old, 4 year old, almost 2 year old, and 2 week old… so lots of pictures to take! :-)

  163. Stac G

    I can’t really say I have any favorites to photograph. I have enjoyed taking pictures of family, pets and nature. I am now eager to learn more about food photography and also to fine tune my photography skills when taking pictures of my hand crafted goods.

  164. Tracey C

    I love to take pictures of family the most. Children grow so fast and everyone changes. Taking pictures of my family allows me and family members to revisit great family times.

  165. Lizzie Baird

    I’m a sports photographer nut but I’ve recently gotten interested in casual portrait photography. I could surely use help on my editing skills!

  166. Heather Reeder

    I hope I win this, it would be very helpful to me!

    I love taking pictures of landscapes and nature. My most favorite subject to photograph would have to be my four year old nephew. He ignited my love of photography and he’s always a good sport about being photographed. He usually asks, “Is that a good photo?” or “Did ya get it?!” :)

  167. Shannon Stamp

    Love taking pictures of animals and travel… I don’t have any kids, so I never really got into child pictures… but love the animals.

  168. Mindy Sue

    I have to say…my most favorite photos are of my family. I also enjoy scenery. I’d sure like to win this one….he! he!

  169. Kristin

    I’m a momographer. :) So I’m always practicing on my kiddos. I would LOVE to be able to use Photoshop without actions! How empowering!

  170. Dana Nelms

    My favorite subject is my family. I recently took my first photography class, and learned exactly how much I do not know!

  171. Lori

    My favorite of all time is family! There are so many great moments and fun ways to get great shots. This product sounds wonderful! Thanks for the great giveaway.

  172. Amanda N.

    I take a zillion photo of my pets, but I do really enjoy landscapes and close ups of anything.. flowers, water droplets, anything!

  173. Taniel McKellar

    Thank you for an opportunity to win this.
    My greatest inspiration to start learning about photography is my children. When my first was born, I had a local photographer who photographed our wedding, take photos of him when he was 7 days old. It was in his studio, and he included false backgrounds….I thought that the images were fantastic. Then….I discovered a natural light photographer…*sigh* and I was so inspired, that my personal photography journey began.
    My son is now 3 and I also have an 11 month old girl. All of my photos are SOOC, as I have no idea on how to use Photoshop….. that was on my next ‘to do’ list.
    Even if I don’t win, thank you very much for realising that there are others out there that are so overwhelmed by editing software.
    Thank you from sunny Darwin, Australia.

  174. Belinda

    People…I love taking pictures of people, of course my favorite people are my family but I love taking pictures of all people! Thanks for the chance!

  175. Missy Windom

  177. Lisa B

  179. Jannette Bole

    I take pictures of everything and anything…but would say my most favorite would be of my nieces having fun (i.e. not posing). I love when I develop a photo with one of their big huge happy grins–and it makes me smile right back at it. GREAT software–first time I heard of it. Pick me! : ) I’m hopping over to your site to check it out–and going to share your blog with my photography friend.

  191. Tricia Kalita

    My favorite subject is by far my uber-photogenic six-year-old daughter. She makes it easy to get a good shot but I never have learned Photoshop to make them even more dramatic. What a great prize this would be!

  192. Chandra

    I love taking candid photos of children!!!! Their expressions are the cutest and you can get the best photos of children when you let them do their thing and you just follow them.

  193. Nicole

    I love most taking pictures of my boys, but I think it’s easier to take pictures of the food I cook because it doesn’t run away with its hand over its face!!

    I absolutely would LOVE a chance. I’m learning photography, but haven’t yet tackled PhotoShop. I take photos to capture memories of family, friends, and my pets. Scrapbooking was first my hobby, but that has also led me into the love of photography. There’s nothing like capturing an image that you adore!

  204. Megan Jones

    So excited for the chance to win this prize. I enjoy all aspects of photograpy from wildlife and landscapes to family photography.

  244. April Horak

    oooooh, I would love to have Clean Color! I love, love, love taking pictures of my kids, but since I’m a little behind in my quest to fully understand how to use my DSLR, there’s always some color issue I wish I could correct.

    I mainly take pictures of my family, but would love to travel more and take pictures along the way. I SO need help to produce a better picture and would love to win this!! Thanks so much!

  249. Jaime Cole

    I love taking pictures of my two babies! I say they’re babies but they are eight & five. But it seems in the busy day in, day out hustle & bustle of life I haven’t been taking near as many as I need to! Every day is precious & those pics help to document it! I have also been trying to learn how to take better pictures of my products for etsy & this could definitely help!!! That’s an area I have been struggling with!! Thank you so much for a great giveaway! :)

  250. Megan E.

    This would be amazing to win! I have Photoshop, and I’ve dabbled in it, but never really learned how to use it. Most of my photos are of nature, or animals, but I’d love to learn how to take better portraiture pictures (and then edit them accordingly!)

  251. Cathy

    I love taking pictures of my Family, our dogs, landscapes, flowers, bugs, animals of all kinds. I would love to learn how to improve my photos thru Photoshop…..It is overwhelming when you first start trying to use Photoshop/Elements…so any help would be awesome!

  252. Anne

    Amanda, thanks so much for sharing your friend Erin with us!!! I LOVE taking photos of my four-legged son Oliver and all my nieces and nephews!

  253. Stef

    Right now, I love taking pictures of my cat, Gracie! I’m just starting out with a new DSLR, and she’s a very good practice subject. :)

  254. Lorene R.

    I love to take pictures of EVERYTHING! Unfortunately, I don’t ever know what to do with them after I take them! This would be perfect.

  255. Renae Reis

    I just learned to use actions so this would be fantastic!! I feel like a cheater sometimes!! :) I love to take pictures of my boys and sometimes the conditions aren’t always perfect. Thanks girls.

  256. Carrie Alexander

    Thanks for the chance to learn! My favorite subject to photograph is my everyday life. I love taking photos of my friends, pets, the places we go and most especially my family!

  257. Donna Cohen

    I love taking pictures! I take them of my crafts, and of my grandchildren, of the recipes I make up, oh, and I love taking them of the hummingbirds that visit our feeders (up to 20 at a time! No, I am not kidding!!) I just love taking photos. My husband bought me photoshop, sadly I have not used it – well I did try to use it, but… I would love a program to help me get a better result! My favorite photos – my grandchildren – all of them!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win a copy of your program, I’m going to run over to your blog and take a better look –

    Blessings,
    Donna

  258. Megan Wanek

    I love taking pictures of my two kids, of course! My passion is capturing both the special things we do as a family and the little things that make up our everyday lives. As a 3rd born in my family, very few pictures were taken by the time I came around and I hope leave a better visual history of my kids’ childhoods for them (and me) to enjoy. I’ve tried using Photoshop Elements in the past but beyond the very basic tasks I am completely lost.

  259. Gayatri

    Oh wow! A specific tutorial! That’s amazing and so helpful! I love taking photographs of scenery and candid photos of people. My ultimate goal for y photograph is that it should look like a high quality postcard that you would love to send to your loved ones.

    Thanks for the amazing giveaway Erin and Amanda!

    I have the worst luck and ever win anything! Here’s hoping! xx

  260. Lori Jensen

    I enjoy taking pictures of our children and our travels……beginner in photography but my daughter would really appreciate this.

  261. Kathy J

    Family! But they hate to have their photos taken. I do love to shoot seniors or teenagers that are willing! Thank you for the opportunity to learn!

  262. Cara

    Wow, what and amazing give-away, definitely entering this! I take a lot of photos for a knitting blog I have as well as a lot of general hobby photography. This would no doubt speed up my editing process (or my lack of editing process) like mad!

  263. Mel H

    I definitely take a lot of photos of my family, more so than anything else! I do need some work on taking more animal photos…we have two new rescued italian greyhounds, and I would love to take better photos of them.

  264. Cheyenne

    I love to shoot anything that strikes me as joyful or beautiful. It could be a particular flower in my garden to a friend’s child running around a park. Kids are so full of joy and I love to capture that!

  265. Amy @MoMomma

    This would be so amazing for fixing photos of my family that were taken in poor light conditions. I also have a blog and this would rock the blog photos!

    i thought i loved taking photographs before my son was born…now that he’s here, i realize i had no idea. taking pictures of him brings me so much joy!

  267. RaChelle S.

    That is a tough question….what DON’T I love to take pictures of?! I absolutely love taking pictures and have turned it into a part-time business. I am currently trying to work on perfecting my workflow (I spend WAY too much time in editing) I was so excited to see this post. Especially since I love your edits! Everyone has a different style and I love your nice clean edit. Clean Color is a perfect name!

  268. Jessica Bishop

    If I had to pick a favorite, I’d say my favorite thing to take pictures of is people! Namely, my family and friends. I love capturing their spirit and preserving memories :) What a great prize!

  269. Colette Bate

    Family … granddaughters, kids, friends and Disney! Seems my SD card is always full of these types of images just waiting to be transferred to my scrapbooks. Thank you so much for the opportunity to win the Clean Color video! I’d sure be one happy grandma if I won! :D

  270. Mindy

    I really love these types of edits and am on a constant look for great resources to help me achieve them. It’s the kind of product I want to produce for people. This prize would be a great resource. Thanks for having the giveaway :)

    1. Mindy

      P.S. Forgot to mention I love taking pictures of landscapes, sports and my family (if they’ll stand still long enough).

    I will take pictures of just about anything. I do a lot of outdoor landscapes, but would love to start photographing some of my interior design projects too.

  272. deannab1

    I love taking pictures of my nieces and nephew, but I have a feeling my favorite subject will be my own kiddo when he or she makes an appearance in a few weeks.

  273. ~Kim

    I love taking pictures of everything….in fact, I am known to my friends, family, and students as the girl behind the camera. They comment that they don’t even need to bring a camera to an event if they know I’m there! I would love to win…and if I don’t, well my birthday is Monday so perhaps I could spend some of my birthday money! : )

  289. Evil Pixie

    I have no favorite subject. I just love taking photographs of everything! To capture little moments, whether it be my family, an inquisitive bird, or a sunset is what makes me happy. And anything that helps make my images pop is a bonus.

  293. Sandy S

    Any amateur photographer like myself would be delighted to win this gift. Thank you for the chance to win. I love taking pictures of my family and friends the most.

  298. Andrea Thomas

    I love taking pictures of people, especially my 3.5 year old son. I love taking pics of my dog, Murphy, also – and he thinks he’s a person, so that should probably count, too! ;-)

  300. Janelle

  304. Amanda S.

    This is so exciting!

    Since I own an Old Time Photo studio, I should really say that taking photos of people is my favorite – but it’s not. Unless they’re in costume, or they’re my 2 year old daughter, which is my absolutely favorite thing to photograph… now if she’d ever sit still long enough for me to get a not blurry photo!

    My 2nd photographic love is landscapes – I LOVE to travel, and I love being able to look through my pictures and see where I’ve been…

  305. shara bachman

    OH MY GOODNESS! i stumbled across erin’s photo blog about a month ago and have been loving her pics. i JUST got photoshop cs5 on tuesday and literally CRIED when i installed it because i had absolutely no idea what to do. um, how do i even upload a photo! this would truly be an incredible blessing!
    i’m just getting my photo business started- i love photos of newborns/families/kiddos (especially my 3 little ones, of course :) but i knew i couldn’t go any farther without photoshop. i saved for months to buy it and now don’t know how to use it. seriously… this would change everything for me!
    here’s for hoping!

  306. ~*kristi*~

    I absolutely love taking pictures of Kauai. My family goes every two years together, and it doesn’t matter that we always see the same things and go to the same places, I take as many photos as I can of everything! It’s the most beautiful place that *I* have ever seen, and I would love to learn how to make my photos do it justice.

  324. melissa ide photography

    I absolutely adore taking pictures of our little girl. We have two older boys, and I never realized how much fun a girl would be. She is so full of energy and personality and I love to capture as much of her as I can before she is a big kid.

  325. Erin H.

    I love to travel and one of my favorite things to do after a trip is re-live it through the photos I’ve taken. I would love to brush up on my photo editing skills and learn more about Photoshop!

    I run a daycare in my home & keep a blog for the parents so they can see what their kids do during the day. I love taking pics of the kids, and for special days (b’days, Easter, etc) I do a “photo shoot” of each kid and give as a gift to the parents. So fun!

  328. Sara

    I love taking pictures of my family, and birthday parties, in that order! I think if I could specialize in birthday party photography, I would! :-) (BTW, I stalk both of your blogs regularly, Erin, and since I recently purchased CS5, I would LOVE the Clean Color bundle!!!)

  332. Katie

    Thank you so much for the opportunity to win this AWESOME prize!!!
    My favorite two subjects are my kiddos – although they don’t really like having their pictures taken – one day they’ll appreciate it – right?!!? :)

  333. Sandi Jardine

    I love photographing my kids, pets and all my projects!
    I cook, craft and design all types of things and blogs like yours encourage me to photograph step by step instructions to share with friends.
    I love doing photo editing! I use a VERY old design software, that I recently tried upgrading and found that the newer version doesn’t have any of the old one’s capabilities. So I struggle along with my archaic one – all along wanting a new software that is more current. Clean Color looks and sounds amazing!

  334. Jordyn Haider

    This sounds amazing! I would love to learn how to edit my pictures like this! I love taking pictures of my two year old and kids in general!

  335. Nicole

  336. Sarah S

    I enjoy taking pictures of my kids/family. I have a ton of photos, but stop at the editing process from being overwhelmed with photoshop! I think this would help me “finish” the process and allow me to show off my pictures more! Thank you for the chance to win!

  337. Tara W.

    I am fairly new to DSLR photraphy. I have a new(to me) Nikon and love all the tips that I get from Amanda. Better yet would be the know-how after the pics are taken! My favorite pics to take are of my vacations.

    I love to take pics of my two kids. I miss them being young though…it was so fun to get cute pictures of them when they were little (when they actually let me take their pics!).

    Would love to learn more about Photoshop with this video.

    My favorite subject to photograph are my kids and my garden!

  344. Carri Wright

    I love taking photographs of nature the most ..although I do take a lot of photos for my blog and I know I need help there. I’m missing the boats on great shots for my blogs….I would love to learn to do better.

  345. Dalia

    I love taking pictures of my son, but I could sure use Clean Color. I am clueless when it comes to taking great photos or editing. You’ll find on my file photos of my little guy as well as my garden. So nice to meet you!

  346. Kindra Hill

    Oh my gosh! This would be an amazing giveaway to receive. I love taking pictures of just about anthything.

    I am so in love with this blog! What a great job you guys are doing! Thanks for having such a great giveaway! I love taking pictures of my friends and family…especially the kiddos! That season in life is so short, I love to catch as much of it as I can! Thanks again for such a great site and giveaway opportunity!

  348. Rebecca Barton

    When I first started photography I loved landscape photography. Over the years I have learned how to photograph people (families, children, … And I really enjoy it. I am no professional and am always looking for great photo tips to make someone’s pictures really pop! This sounds like a great thing!

  349. Jana

    When I got into photography, I thought I’d take lots of pictures of friends and family members. Turns out that a) I don’t have a whole lot of friends who like to be in front of the camera and b) I looooove cooking and baking, so I got sucked into this whole food photography world. And I’m glad I did. :D

  350. Stacy

    Clean Color looks awesome. I would love to give a try. I would have to say taking pictures of my friends and family is my favorite. Great giveaway!

  354. Melissa

    I LOVE taking pictures of my beautiful 9 year old twins! We don’t have the extra money to have professional pictures taken of them very often (besides school pictures which aren’t very creative) so I’ve been trying to teach myself how to use my camera. My favorite part is editing and getting creative but I still have a lot of learning to do. Would L O V E to win this awesome prize!

    I recently took a Photoshop Class that was way too short (3 classes) so looking forward to checking what you have to offer on your website!

    This comes just in time with the closing of Picnik!! Very cool idea–I love taking pictures of food and my family and I would love to learn how to edit them properly.

    My present love is photos of my two sweet baby grandkids, although I take pics for my two Etsy shops on a daily basis.

    Thanks for the chance to win!

  368. NoOceanInKansas

    Erin, Clean Color sounds like a great product. I purchased Photoshop Elements a couple of months ago, and am still struggling to figure out how to use it. I love to take travel photos (even if I don’t travel all that much!). I am going to Paris in May, and plan to take a ton of photos. Clean Color would be a huge help during the edit process when I get back!
    Thanks again for your guest blog appearance, and thanks to Amanda for an amazing blog!

    My favorite subject is family – which includes 4 grandchildren and my rescue dog, Bella, a 125 lb. Great Dane who has become quite a Diva since coming to live in my home. I’m an avid scrapbooker, so this product would be an amazing addition to my arsenal. Thanks for the opportunity!!!

  370. Jenna Allen

    Ahh! This is such an awesome giveaway! My favorite things to photography are pets, and people in love…like engagement sessions. Thanks for doing this awesome giveaway Amanda! :)

  371. Allie

    I love to take pictures of my 10 month old son! He’s a doll. But prior to his arrival, it would have been our 80 lb Boxer. He’s pretty cute too.

  372. Erin N.

    What a great giveaway! I bought PSE a year ago, but haven’t really used it. I love taking pictures of my family, 3 boys and baby girl (and hubby of course) ;) and crafts that I complete. Thanks for the chance to win. :)

  373. Cindy Davis

    I love to take pictures of my three kids. I try to capture all of the fun things we do like soccer, cheerleading, swim team, etc. However, my favorite pictures are just the pictures of daily life like when my daughter is listening to my little son read a book to her, etc. Capturing our lives in photos is a passion of mine. So blessed with great memories. Thanks for the chance to win!!!!

  374. Dee

    My favorite subject is my Boston Terrier, Zuzu. She’s very photogenic and makes me look like I know what I’m doing…most of the time. Thanks for the great giveaway!

  375. Wendy

    I am fortunate to get to travel with my husband on his business treips. I love to take pictures of the cities we visit. I would LOVE to win this prize, because I have convinced myself that I can NOT learn Photoshop Elements. Please prove me wrong!

  376. Crystal Neros

    I love recieving emails and updates from Kevin and Amanda! My 14 year old daughter is in 4H and loves photography as much as I do. She has such a great eye for those perfect shots! I would love to be able to share even more techniques with her to help her perfect her “hobby”! Keep up the great work ~ Crystal

  377. Jan

    Photos of my grandkids would have to be my favorite of all time. There is nothing like catching them as they go about their business, and as you all know you never know what business a 2 & 5 year old may have. I constantly laugh at some of hilarious pictures I get of them, and they are never still. Thanks for sharing your blog, can’t wait to check it out.

  378. lori p

    I love taking photos of everything….working on a 365 day album for this year….so i am taking photos of MANY things-family, our dog, food, crafts, household things, etc….THANKS FOR A GREAT GIVEAWAY!

  379. Jess M.

    I take more pictures of my dogs than anything else. In fact, I don’t have any pictures on my cellphone of my fiance that also doesn’t prominently feature one of our two shibas.

  380. Michelle

    I love taking pics of my miniature schnauzer, Bailey. She is just has the cutest expressions and I want to capture them all. I also love documenting our vacations so that we can look back and remember all of the details. Thanks for this awesome giveaway!

  381. Tracy F.

    Does anybody else think Amanda and Ree Drummond (The Pioneer Woman) look amazingly alike? I wish I could see side-by-sides of the two of them!

  382. Nathalie-Catherine Ouellet

    Kids… I love my kids and I wish I could take great pictures like Erin do…

    Thanks for the giveway ;-) Nathalie-Catherine

  383. Karen U.

    I love taking pictures of my family. Especially my kids doing the things they love everyday. This would be awesome as I just got PSE and having been trying to learn on my own what to do. This would be extrememly helpful! Thank you!

  384. Angie R.

    This would be so amazing – as learning more about this is constantly top of mind! I find myself taking pictures mostly of my kids. I also love to take travel pictures – trying to find details that most may miss.

  385. Adele Morgan

    This sounds wonderful. I have photoshop cs5 and would love more information on how to use all the wonderful stuff.

  386. Teri Dingler

    I tend to take more travel/scenery photos rather than family/individual photoa as I just don’t have the know how in making great people photos look great!

  387. Penny Hall

    I am a 58 year old Mother of Twins. Both married men and now for the first I will be a Grandmaw come August. My husband and I are so excited about this as we are hopeing for a Grand daughter but then a Grandson will be perfectly fine also. I want to be able to take great pictures of this occasion along the way so I can scrap book every minute of it for the working Mother! I am so hoping to learn how to do this before the first Grand Child gets here.

  388. Therese

    Most of my photos are of my family, which is quite big. I have so many cameras to grab anytime something great is happening.

  389. Mary Ann

    I’ve recently became an empty nester, so now that my beautiful daughter is in college, I like to take photos of small creatures, like bugs;)))

  390. Urban Wife

    What a great giveaway and very practical! I love taking pictures of anything and everything but especially couples (weddings) and babies.

  391. Chrissy

    Thanks for the opportunity! It was nice reading about Erin and what she does. I like finding out about new people/blogs through the blogs I follow. Clean Color looks really cool and like it simplifies PS, which would be great!

  392. QuirkyKim

    I love taking shots of all that is nature. Love working with PS Elements, and am trying to learn more about how to use actions and textures!

  393. Melody♪♫

    Subtle, but amazing the difference that bit of color makes in a photo!
    I use my camera to document everyday life of our fast-growing sons. I also snap pics of embroidery/sewing projects for my blog. (Oh, and I try to capture food, too…)

  394. Cathi

    I love taking pictures of my family. Sometimes you can capture the absolute best photos when you least expect it. Thanks for sharing your techniques with us and the opportunity to own Clean Color for ourselves.
    Cathi

    I recently upgraded to a DSLR, but still lack skills in editing. I love taking pictures of my two children; they are growing too fast and I want to have a record of everything along the way!

  396. Amanda S.

    Food & pets! Weird combo – not together, I promise. Though that may be funny…Food for my blog, and pets for pleasure :)

  397. maria l rios

I love the open road scenery… I would love to improve my photography skills with this Tutorial, fingers cross….. Good luck everyone!!!

  398. Tori

    I have been pining for Erin’s Clean Color video since it came out! I love taking pictures of my kids, but they don’t enjoy it quite as much as I do… so I resort to florals and macros. :)

  399. Jean Punt

    WOW!….I would love to win this…I have Photoshop Elements and gave up

    Hi Erin! Your photographs are amazing. I photograph my two little grandchildren the most – they are my favorite subjects. Thanks for the chance to win this awesome tutorial set.

  402. Mandy W

    I love taking pictures of our two pets! We have a 1 year old Golden Retriever puppy named Hank and a 13 year old tortoise shell cat named Izzy – they both provide hours of entertainment :D

  403. kay m.

    I love taking pictures of my family and cats. Eventually they will make it into a memory album to be handed down through the generations. Learning skills to improve those pictures would be fabulous !

  404. Andrea

    I think the real question for me is – what DON’T I love taking pictures of :) But one of my favorite activities is exploring a new city from behind the lens!

  405. Erin H

    I would love to learn more about Photoshop and how to better utilize it… I took a class once, but I’m afraid I didn’t retain much!

    love taking pictures of friends and family the most.

  406. Rekhmina

    I recently started blogging and really need to polish my photography skills so I can put up nice pictures on my blog. Besides that I love to photography people and food.

  407. Amy

    Wow! What a fantastic giveaway. I definitely need this… I’m horrible at editing my photos. Oh and for the record my favorite subjects are my daughters.

  408. Tina Hicks

    I love capturing all the wonderful memories my wonderful family and I make!
    I have always wanted to learn photoshop! Thank you for the opportunity!

  409. The Mrs @ Success Along the Weigh

    I love taking pictures in Hawaii. There is never a shortage of beautiful scenery and even if you take the same pic in successive years, it can change just enough to look different!

    Thanks for the opportunity to win!

  410. SOFFY

    wow you so much sharing.. i not have kids.. but i like to take pics of my dog.. his name is Niño.. and i will like to improve his pics with this clean actions

  412. CHERIE MISTRETTA

    I love taking pictures of my children, family and the beach or mountains. Thanks for the chance to win and good job Erin :)

  413. AmyS

    While I love taking photos of my family, I have to admit that my most favorite thing in the world is to take amazing photos of my knitting projects. I know that to get “that perfect shot”, I can spend up to an hour and about 300 frames. To have the ability to make my knitting photography really pop would be amazing.

  414. Barb

    I love taking photos of my kids but if they are not visiting (they live in a different state) I take pictures of my cats!

  415. Robyn

    I’m such a newby at photography and I’m just soaking up all this fabulous info I’ve found on the Internet. Thanks for your post! …and those pics…WOW! I am inspired. Thanks again.

  416. CH

    I love to take pictures of the amazing places we’ve travelled to, the fabulous foods we’ve eaten, and our spoiled Maltese.

  417. Christine

    Anything! Seriously, food, kids, animals, cool buildings, but probably my favorite is the sky especially during the summer when we get amazing cloud formations! I’d love to be able tweak those photos as my editing isn’t where I’d like it to be. :)

  418. Mandee J

    Wow, what a cool idea for everyone who wants to learn more about editing photos. I love your pics!
    I love taking pictures of everything & everyone! My husband and our cats are my favorite subject, but getting the cats in a picture is easier. =)

  419. Tiffany

    My favorite subjects are my two girls..they love taking photo’s! I am so excited for this opportunity because I used to edit with picnik and they are going away. I bought elements but haven’t a clue how to use it!

  420. Jean

    I make paper embroidered greeting cards and always take a photo of them. I would love to edit the photos to focus on the minute details of the stitching. I also have two precious grandchildren who are the sparkle in my eye. Photos of them are treasures for sure.
    Thank you for this opportunity.

  421. Candice S. in Colorado

    What an amazing giveaway! You have no idea how awesome this would be for me! My BIGGEST problem w/ my photos is I never think they look right “color-wise” – they’re too dull, or too yellowish, or just too icky! haha!

    So thank you very much for this amazing chance to win! Erin Cobb, you are super-cool!

    I love taking photographs of my kids and pets the most. As you can imagine, both move way too fast, so that’s something I am learning currently…how to make my photos come out more crisp when my subject is moving fast. I have found that buying a tripod has been the best thing ever! Now if I could win Erin’s giveaway, I bet my photos would almost presentable!

    Thanks again!
    xo,

  422. val

    I have some great pictures from my trip in January to see my son in San Diego. I would love to turn my snapshots into true works of art!

  423. Lois Hartwell

    Oh. my. gosh. I would be so excited to receive the tutorial! I am so confused by all of that stuff and just need a “friend” to show me! Keeping my fingers crossed……..

  424. Tonya T.

    I love this product! And would love to learn more about Photoshop!! I LOVE taking pictures of people….I love the way it reveals so much about someone. Thanks.

  425. Ms. Sew N Sew

    What an amazing pic of you two girls! I love to photograph my flower gardens or any flower gardens for that matter and family, friends, beautiful landscapes…seems like I like to photograph everything hmmmmm. Enjoy your day girls, can’t wait to see what surprise Amanda has in store for us.

  426. Megan LaBelle

    I love taking pictures of my dog…when he cooperates. I am also really excited to start taking pictures of my baby girl on the way!

  427. Helen Ernst

    I love taking taking picture of my family, but over the past year I started a blog mainly about quilting (blog does have family, food, knitting and traveling photos). I would love to learn how to clean up my photo skills.

  428. Jan

    Oh, thank you! Actions confuse me. This sounds great and the example pictures are amazing. At the moment I like to take pictures of my son, but he doesn’t like it so much. (He’s at that age!)

  429. Jennifer Foor

    Thank you for this amazing opportunity! My favorite “thing” to shoot is couples/engagement! I love LOVE! :) Seniors are pretty high up there too as they are in it for the fun elements of posing/photography! Fingers are crossed to win this!

  430. Alison Althouse

    What a fabulous product you’ve created… And what a wonderful bonu it would be to win a bundle of it…

    My favorite subjects? Anything sports…. I love being able to capture the feel of a game through photos, yet still be able to get close enough to see players expressions in the midst of battle. It’s a challenge that is close to my heart as my two nous grow up. I’m not skilled enough to do weddings or much portrait stuff but I love catching those unique shots that (usually) need some lighting help…. Hope I can win!

  431. Ashley

    I love taking outdoor photos of my children the most. It’s so fun to share a great photo of them with family members who don’t see them often.

  432. Krys Simmons

    I don’t have just one favorite subject, I love taking photos of scenes on our farm, of family, and when we travel! Thanks for the contest opportunity!

  433. JLL

    Love taking pics of my son and hubby, and of our travels. Nothing is better taking pics of unusual sites, and looking at them later and seeing other things that I didn’t notice when I was shooting.

  434. Donna

    I grew up with a father that took pictures of every important occasion in our families history. I started a family and continued the tradition but added documenting much of our every day life as well. My kids are 19 and 16 now and there isn’t as much to photograph. However we do have two puppies and now I have many pictures of them. I just got Photoshop Elements and would love to learn how to use it. Thanks for the opportunity.

  435. Patty

    Awesome product! I love macro photography!!! Anything macro! You can see the soul of a person, the work of God in nature.

  436. Stacie D

    My favorite subject? My kids!!! Unfortunately they’re so sick of me taking their pics they run for the hills when I pull my camera out… LOL!

  437. Elizabeth

    With a 4 year oldgrandson and a new one due any day, I’ll say kids, of course. And pictures of the places we visit. Thanks for the giveaway.

  438. Michelle Brown

    I love taking photos of couples! I have PSE and recently purchased a few Actions for post-editing and I’ve fallen in love. I would love the chance to win a tutorial AND more actions to better my pictures! THANKS!

  439. Nicole H.

    I LOVE LOVE LOVE to take pictures of my Boston Terrier, Henry. I have also been inspired by a bunch of VERY talented bloggers (including Amanda!) to finally launch my own food blog. I am fairly new to my DSLR so I have A LOT to learn about photography and this would be a wonderful tool to help me on my journey! Thanks for this great giveaway!

  440. Grace E.

    I have always wanted to learn Photoshop but felt very intimidated by it. I love taking scenic pictures and pictures of my daughter and would like to have better pictures for my Etsy shop.

    Thanks for the chance at this great giveaway!

  441. Jessica

    Pets, family, friends, and great memories! I have wanted to start taking more photos, maybe this awesome bundle would help ;)

  442. Carole Snyder

    I love taking pictures of all the birds and critters that come to my flower beds, feeders and bird baths….. would love to be able to use Clear Color to make them pop… Especially the cardinals and the butterflies :) I can get lost watching them… it’s my sanctuary….. every day I am snapping pics of them, hoping to get that one fantastic picture…

  443. Heather Cashwell

    Thank you for this awesome opportunity! I love to take pictures of my two girls, 5 & 2. I also taking scenery shots.

  444. Jennifer

    I absolutely love nature and travel pictures. Which can be anything from my pups to the beaches here on Guam, to the jungle boonie stompin!!

  445. Alice Walker

    Last week – wildlife, this week – the annual rodeo, next week – definitely the beach! Thanks for the giveaway :)

  446. Melissa P. @Mel4Him

    I love taken pictures of all things that represent life. That includes family, nature, animals, fast moving trains, and so on. : )

  447. Jessica Davies

    I love capturing skies – sunrises, sunsets, puffy clouds and menacing storms. They’re so dynamic, full of colour, and can change their mood to yours – whether it is peacefulness or blissful happiness or to be filled with a sense of awe at their power. You know when you capture a sky that really have captured a moment.

  448. Lorraine Robinson

    The photographs are beautiful and certainly show the difference with the adjustments. Thanks for the chance to win.

  449. Brenda H.

    Wow, the contrasts are amazing. This is fantastic. The Clean Color version looks so real, like you are right there sharing the moment. The subjects look real, alive, inviting! Thank-you for offering this.

  450. Jenne

    Wow what a great give away. I can’t imagine anyone not wanting to know how to do this.
    I love to take photos of my family with my zoom lens. They don’t know I’m shooting them so the pictures are so much more natural. It creates memories to treasure for everyone.

  451. Sylvia

    I have 7 grandkids and I am the keeper of the picture’s and I think I am going to try Clean Color to make my picture’s look great.

  452. Carla Reich

    I love taking pictures of my cakes. (I’m a wedding cake designer.) I’m not as good at it as I’d really like to be, but I do the best I can and am eager to learn new techniques. I think it’s challenging to photograph one’s own creative products in a way that does them justice — the same applies to any artistic pursuit. We want all the hours we put into making something beautiful to show through in the photograph, which is all I usually have left of an amazing cake that only lived for a day. :)

  453. Rudi

    I love taking photos of my two dogs! They are so quirky and spontaneous- it creates the best candid shots. Great giveaway- Thanks! : )

  454. Carrie McGhie

    I love taking pictures of my kids, my cats,my dogs and also all the wonderful people that I know and love and occasionally I like to take pictures of my flowers….basically I just love pictures, taking them,looking at them and sometimes I like to change the colors on them! Ijust really LOVE pictures! :)

  455. Joan

    I would love to learn how to make the most of my photos. I expecially love photos that make you want to know more about the story behind them. Your photos are really clear and sharp! I love it! Thanks for the opportunity to win this bundle.

  456. Holly

    I used to think I only had to photograph special events, trips, parties, etc., but now I try to capture moments in my life that I know I will cherish later—my dog smiling, my cat peeking at me through the kitchen window, the bloom of my first iris, my son doing something funny, the rays of light streaming through the glass panels of my front door, a perfect sunrise or sunset. Even the little disasters, like my dog ripping apart my couch cushion, are captured to laugh at later on.

    1. Carrie McGhie

      Your comment is so perfect! Your words described exactly why I love taking pictures! Thanks! :)

  457. Liezl

    Hi guys, I have just thus week downloaded the trial version of Photoshop Elements, because I want to expand my photography as well as getting a nice editing package.

  463. Jen

    Great post and great giveaway!!! We are currently living in Beijing and have really enjoyed taking pictures of all of the iconic architecture, historical places and (of course) The Great Wall!
