Emily Soto vs Paint the Moon Actions

If you compare these two Photoshop actions for photographers, you can see that they both perform perfect skin tone enhancement preserving natural texture. The skin tone becomes brighter without visible blemishes. Thus, Emily Soto's Fashion skin set can be compared with Paint the Moon's Picture Perfect Set due to a large number of tools for simpler and better-quality skin improvement.

The main difference between these sets is their color palettes. By applying Paint the Moon actions, the photos become light, bright and very colorful. If you apply Emily Soto actions, there will be more dark colors in the picture. So, these actions are more suitable for fashion photoshoots.
