I like my photos processed a certain way – warm tones, soft and slightly faded with a tinge of retro hues thrown in for good measure. To create this look, I often reach for Totally Rad Photoshop Actions by Boutwell Studios.
A few of my favorite recipes
TRA Recipe: Grandma’s Tap Shoes 50% + Acid Washed 20% + Get Faded (Autumn) 30% + Get Faded (Spring) 29%
TRA Recipe: Acid Washed 30% + Grandma’s Tap Shoes 40% + Get Faded (Autumn) 39% + Get Faded (Winter) 12%
TRA Recipe: Acid Washed 32% + Get Faded (winter) 41% + Grandma’s Tap Shoes 33%
TRA Recipe: Grandma’s Tap Shoes 35% + Claire-fy 39% + Get Faded (Autumn) 11% + Get Faded (Winter) 16%
These examples doesn’t even begin to scratch the surface of what TRA2 actions can do. I recommend you head over to the TRA Recipes page to see amazing examples of post processing with TRA goods.

It's unbelievable. Yesterday I spend hours to reach in Lightroom the same effect as on your photos! When I went to sleep, I realized that it must be a photoshop action, because it's difficult to do it in Lightroom (avery time you need to enter new values for saturation, etc. I was shocked that you've published the recipe how to do it today! I want to win this photoshop action very-very much! I'll twitter it and post on my blog now!
