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.

Thank you Erin for this fabulous opportunity to win your Clean Color give away! I love taking pictures; travels, events, family, flowers and especially my two little granddaughters.

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! :)
I LOVE taking photographs of family, vacations and events! Thanks for this great contest opportunity!
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.

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.
I love taking pictures of my dog and family!
my favorite thing to photograph is my kids. they grow so fast!
I’m far from being considered a photographer but I adore snapping photos of my family. Would love to learn more on photography.
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!
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!!!
I always take pictures of my family – this would be great!!!
I love taking pictures of my son and our pets.
My family – this would be awesome! Thank you.
I love to take pics of my kids the most. My son is 19 mos and my daughter 5 1/2.
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?!?!”)
My daughter
My family of course. My kids are my most favoritist of all to photograph. We are always doing photo shoots!

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!

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!
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!
My favorite thing to take pictures of are flowers in the spring.
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! :-)
I love doing bridal shots! Thanks! I also love Amanda’s blog!!
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.
I love taking pictures of my 3 year old and taking pictures on vacation
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.
Sigh…
I’d love to make my pics look as bright as I remember the event being!
My favorite subjects are my kids :)
I love taking pictures of my little guy and my food.
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!
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?!” :)
Need this! Please!
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.
Travel mostly. And that could be travel down the street to the botanical gardens. #2 would be my pets.
I love to take photos of my boys during their sporting activities—AND I need all the help I can get!
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!
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!
My favorite subject is my family. I recently took my first photography class, and learned exactly how much I do not know!
My darling daughters. Close 2nd would be my daughters with anybody else… ; )
food photography! but i want to start portraits and people :)
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.
I take a zillion photo of my pets, but I do really enjoy landscapes and close ups of anything.. flowers, water droplets, anything!
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.
I love taking pictures of my adorable six year old niece! And, I love Erin’s photography!
Family pictures when they are not looking. Could use help cleaning them up !
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!

I am determined to learn photoshop elements this year! This giveaway sounds fantastic! My favorite things to photograph would be kids and landscapes.

While I love taking pictures of my dog & my travels, probably my favorite subjects are my family. Our photos of beloved family members are treasured, especially those that are no longer with us.
Who doesn’t love to take photos of their family the most beautiful people we know. I also love to take nature photos. I’ll be heading over to check out your site. Thanks so much!!!
Love taking pictures of our new baby!
I love taking pictures of my family, especially my kids. I’m a novice photographer and this would be such a great help, thank you.
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.
I love to take photographs of my daughter !
My fav are my nephews and niece

I love taking pictures of family. I wish I could do it better. I think this class would help.
I love taking pictures of my sweet little boy, Hank! Awesome giveaway! Thanks!
Thank you for the chance to win! My favorite photo subject are my best friend’s twin 4 year old girls. Lots of fun!
My wife would love this.
Hi Erin and Amanda –
I enjoy taking photos for my blog and the projects I make along with travel photos.
Thanks for offering such a great giveaway.
The clean color video would be AMAZING! I can only imagine how many more photos I would take and how they would look so beautiful. I love taking pictures of children/family and scenery.
I love taking pictures of my new son and my family. I would love to know how to work photoshop. This is so exciting!!!
This is exactly what I need. I bought Photoshop over a year ago but haven’t used it because I don’t know how!
I really wish I could learn how to do that in Elements. got it for Christmas and I must confess, it overwhelms me!
Actually, I have no favorite thing when it comes to photography. I have my camera with me 24-7 and when I see it, I snap it. I’m totally addicted to photography.
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!
Mostly the kids.
Thanks for the chance to win!
I love taking photos of my 3 week old baby boy the most. :)
Wow, very cool! Being a mom, of course I love taking pics of my kiddos. I also like architectural photography.
I most like taking pictures of my family.
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.
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!!
