Travis Gagnon Rebel With a Camera has designed some really cool RAW actions that are similar to some of Kevin Kubota actions or Parker Pfister actions or Doug Gordon of Patken Photographer fame's actions. The Photoshop actions like Kevin Kubota actions give make your senior picture images cool senior picture images. This doesn't help with cool senior picture posing, but makes senior pictures cool. Doug Gordon's actions, be they simple and, few don't empower a good senior portrait photographer to shoot cool senior pictures and my Adobe CameraRaw Tweakers won't do that for you either. They will however give your cool senior pictures that pop that some of the Totally Rad Action Mix from the Boutwell Studio will give you, but these never affect the original file permanently. We've taken a look at the Sallee Photography Edgy Actions and see that they are way too much money and don't offer the versatility of our Adobe CameraRaw Tweakers which are some of our cheap tricks for photographers. Photoshop actions have been done to death and we are in need of some thing that makes the best wedding pictures pop. Travis Gagnon Rebel With A Camera made Adobe CameraRaw Tweakers to do something that he couldn't do with Kubota actions, or Boutwell Totally Rad Action Mix, or Doug Gordon's Patken Photographer Photoshop actions could do. Photoshop actions are meant to make things easier for people who shoot cool senior pictures or great wedding pictures. Sometimes taking the best wedding pictures are not enough and you need something like Kubota Image Tools Actions to make them better to the degree that you have that element that gives you a fantastic wedding photograph. Using Doug Gordon actions is not good enough anymore and using Adobe CameraRaw Tweakers is a better way to make it look like photoshop actions, but not a permanent effect like the Totally Rad Action Mix from Boutwell Studio. Cool Wedding photographers need to have Adobe CameraRaw tweakers to make them even better amazing wedding photographers. These are great things to give your good wedding photographs that bit of a push into great wedding pictures without using Photoshop actions. I may make some Photoshop actions like Kubota's or Doug Gordon or Doug Boutwell or even like Parker Pfister in the future, but for now I am liking what my Adobe CameraRaw tweakers do for my really kickin wedding photography in Austin Texas and killer senior portriat photography in Austin, Texas. Photoshop actions make things faster and Adobe Camera Raw tweakers make things even faster. Tweak the original Raw image where you have more color to work with than the tiny spectrum JPGs offer by the time it ends up in Photoshop ready for Doug Gordon Artistic Actions or Kevin Kubota Action Pak. As a photographer of the best wedding photography using Photoshop actions is wise, and using Kubota actions is wiser, but the wisest thing to use is Adobe Camera Raw Tweakers where you have the most color and depth to work with on yous amazing senior portrait photography or romantic wedding photography poses. Posing senior portrait photography to make groovy senior portraits is important, but using Photoshop action like devices such as Adobe CameraRaw Tweakers can make a world of difference in how your clients see your fantastic senior pictures. Shooting RAW is important as it gives you considerably more color in your sassy senior pictures than just shooting a hot senior portrait with just JPG. You can make a cool senior portrait with Doug Gordon's artistic actions, but can make a really cool senior portrait with Adobe Camera Raw Tweakers. Always shoot RAW and process your color in Adobe CameraRAW using Travis Gagnon Rebel With A Camera Tweakers.The Rebel with a Camera site requires Macromedia Flash 8. Get Macromedia Flash.

Tweakers allow photographers to manipulate images in Adobe CameraRaw or Adobe Lightroom 2. There are several effects that create interest out of un-interesting images. Because you are working directly with your RAW files you do not ever effect the original image. Tweakers requires Adobe Photoshop CS2 CameraRaw, Adobe Lightroom 2 or Adobe Bridge and that you shoot RAW image on your camera.

Below are some sample images using the Tweakers by themselves and some in combination. Roll over each one to see the effect. Scroll past the images to read descriptions of each Tweaker.
