Pastel, Dreamy Photo - Photoshop Tutorial



 Gonna show you how to get this pastel, wash-of-lights picture like this. I'm not an expert. But i've been looking everywhere but no one really shows how they photoshop their pictures. Though i've seen millions of them posting pictures on Instagram with this kind of style. ):

This is how i always did mine. Easy way.


First, go to this deviantart page, and download the zip file.

Soft pastel actions.

 Extract the zip file. And it should contain these files.
.atn file

 Open your Adobe Photoshop. Now drag the .atn file and drop it anywhere inside your Adobe Photoshop.
Now you have a new action in your action list!

Now open the photo you want to edit.
This is the original photo.

 You just need a one click to achieve this soft look. 
There are three selections for you to choose. Soft and sweet. Marshmallow action and Soft purple tones. 
I chose Marshmallow action. Click the Play Selection button. And you're done!
Just click the Play Selection button and save your stylish photo!
