More Photoshop Actions :)

My previous Adobe Photoshop decided to crack on me :( but in all good things, hubby ended up uploading Photoshop CS3 for me, so I got an upgrade.

But boy oh boy did the new bits and pieces frustrate me as I had to relearn bits and pieces, but now that i know where to find what, I'm just loving it :)


Anyways, I thought I would share another awesome FREE action. Just for something a wee bit different and unique :)



This one is called 'Urban Acid' and you can download it for free here

I used a different lens with this photo and oh my gosh it was so hard. It was a lens from my film Nikon and cause I was using it with my digital it lost it's autofocus and cause it has such an AMAZING blurring capacity - i mean check out that background!! but unless Katie stands still so I can work on the focusing, my photos just about all came out blurry doh!!

With this photo I used the *FREE* Boutwell Magic Glasses from Totally Rad Actions as well as the 'Colour Pop' action that you can buy from Maggie Holmes Photography ($15 for a set of 4 actions that I use alot :)

Here are some more photos that I want to share :) I'm trying to build up my skills on using manual settings and it is just all trial and error and sometimes frustration. If anyone wants to share what process and settings they go through when taking photos, please do and share a link in the comments ;)


This one below is a self portrait photo, not too bad :)

This action below is pretty cool in mimicking the lensbaby lenses without the costs associated haha.


Doesn't she have the most gorgeous eye lashes :)


Loving the colours in this one :)


Have a gorgeous day ladies. I'm off for a job interview tomorrow, so wish me luck :)

I just love what you are able to do with your photos! I am trying to learn it all myself and I was wondering...can I ask where you downloaded Photoshop CS3 from? I have been looking everywhere and some are free and some are the full like $1800! I am not sure if it is legal to use the free one or not. Help I am very new to this! Thank you! -Amy
