I'd like to introduce you to the RPM Beautifier Windows Plugin for Photoshop, it's simple to use and best of all it's FREE

This plugin softens and enriches photographs in a way that brings them to life, creating flattering soft focus high-key and infra-red simulation effects

It's great to use on wedding photo's and recently attending my neices wedding I took over 250 photo's and some needed an extra effect to give them a trully beautiful look.

I know your sitting there reading this and thinking not another dreamy tutorial!!!

Well your wrong as this is an introduction to a plugin to make your life a little easier when it comes to editing your photo's.

This will also give your photo's a more realistic effect when it goes to print, I play around with photo's and effects all the time, if I'm not printing my own I send them to print and only when I'm 100% happy they look top notch.

So lets first see where we can grab this great free plugin from, pop over to Red Paw Media scroll down to where you see Beautifier and download the Beautifier.zip (102Kb)

Simply unzip it and add to your plugins folder in photoshop, now open up photoshop and open your photo, I'm using a cropped image from the original just to show this effect.

You can follow my settings below or choose your own until you get the desired look your wanting:

Giving you an end result like so:

Using the black and white infra red stimulation, choosing the green channel will give this result:


A special thankyou to Red Paw Media for making our life a little easier, have a play around and you'll see what a timesaver it adds to your photo projects. BTW Red Paw Media has some other great plugins so be sure to check them out.
