Fall Portrait Workflow Using MCP Inspire Action Set

I have really been enjoying the new MCP Inspire action set.  This time of year is the busiest and I used this recipe on all of my outdoor fall portrait sessions.  Give it a try and see how it works for you!
In the screenshots below, hopefully you can read it,  you can see how I used used the actions and adjusted the layers to taste by using the masks and lowing the opacities.  Anytime you run a action you should adjust the layer opacity and use the mask to paint off the effect in areas you don’t want.  If you don’t know how to use layer masks check out this MCP post. I do a lot of selective editing, so using layer masks is a big part of my workflow.
MCP Inspire:  Brilliant Base, Sun-Drenched, Epic, Multi-Matte, Light Painting, Classic Vignette and Shallow DOF.
Hand Edits:  Went into quick mask mode to do selective editing and adjusted the selected areas based on the histogram in the levels layer, hue/sat to reduce red in the orange flower and overall levels layer.
