Professional photographer and retoucher, Mike Long created this image of Sandy “Sam” Puc (right) while making her 2010 Tour images and Animoto Ad. To enhance this image, Mike used the design house 2 ‘country_road’ action and one of the design house 2 framez files.

"design house... it ROCKS! The actions are a breath of fresh air and the non-destructive nature of them allows for total control - they are an instant hit. The myriad of textures and wallpapers are just amazing, I've only just scratched the surface of their potential. Together with the brushes and shapes, the Suite is a photographer's dream. In a World of actions and textures, the D|H suite is not only worth every penny, it's a bargain!"

"design house has made my life so much easier! I recently whipped up a high school senior mailer with the design house elements and it turned out terrific! It would have taken me much longer to go through and create and compile this on my own. I love that this package has it all. From actions, to wallpapers, to brushes. The options are endless. Thank you for creating this cutting edge package. It's just what our business needs to stay a step ahead!"

Having used Design House volume 1 extensively, I was excited to get my hands on Volume 2. Volume one helped me take my images from one level to an entirely different, more polished, and more impacting level. Volume two is another grand slam from Andy Armstrong and helps me accomplish that level of quality once again.

What I found was a very useful collection of actions, shapes, tools, backgrounds, patterns, digital mats, borders and a few other cool tidbits that once again helped me take my post processing to the next level. I can't say enough good things about Andy's products. They are useful, easy to use AND control and have helped make my photographs shine beyond my expectations.

Volume 2 is great paired with Volume 1 or just as a standalone by itself.

For me, photography is a lot like cooking. You put the right ingredients together (lighting, exposure, posing, etc.) and you end up with a good end product. Good is fine, but I want my images to have that certain something, that certain added flavor that takes it from good to great. That flavor is design house.

design house gives you the tools you need to turn an ordinary image into an extraordinary one, without destroying the integrity of your original work. Each piece of the suite works seamlessly with the next, but independently as well. Sometimes all it takes is one action to give your image that little extra punch. It's like having a huge Photoshop cookbook at your disposal, and no image leaves my studio without a touch of design house spice.

Dear Andy,

I just wanted to take a moment and thank you for the AMAZING PhotoShop stuff you have created with your design house line. Wow, I just don't even know WHAT to say about it.

In my market, I am always looking for that one little thing that will set me apart from the rest of the crowd. My business depends on looking like nothing else people are creating around me. design house helps me accomplish that quickly and easily. I love that I am in total control of the final product- I can have it look totally subtle or off the wall wacked out. It all comes down to the look I want to create.

design house is another tool that I can reach for to help keep me climbing to the top of the photography world.
