So, what is the CoffeeShop Blog all about?
Hi! My name is Rita and I am the blogger behind CoffeeShop. If you are visiting for the first time, welcome! My blog is all about photography and photo-editing, especially in Photoshop, Photoshop Elements, and LightRoom. And pretty much everything you find here is created by me and completely free.
My main "claim to fame" are all of the free actions I have designed. An action is just series of programmed steps you commonly use in editing to get a certain "look" or effect. For example, you can use an action to create a soft vanilla B&W, a bright color pop, create and load a storyboard, or even retouch a portrait. My actions are special in that almost all of them run in Photoshop Elements, an amazing editing program most people can afford to buy (unlike its big sister Photoshop). And most of my actions are completely adjustable so you can get your own unique look.
CoffeeShop has plenty of other free goodies. I create custom storyboards, textures, brushes, patterns, cards, etc. and post them here. I also write all types of tutorials covering photography, photo-editing, and Blogger blog design. I am a stay-at-home mom to two little boys, so this is my creative outlet!
Grab a drink (we prefer coffee in my house!), pull up a chair, and browse the CoffeeShop. All downloads on this site are free for both personal and commercial use (just don't resell my stuff as your own, please keep it free). To find things use my top menubar, the search under my header, or check out the label cloud on my right sidebar. And please enjoy yourself! Rita
