My Photoshop Actions

I've received so many requests lately as to the Photoshop actions I use on my photos.  I've developed my own unique set of actions that I use on most of my photos, and now I'm making them available to you!

This action is used for photos with an average range of colors. When using this action, your photos will become warmer and softer, with a bit of a vintage vibe. It works the best on lighter photos. If your photos are dark, use one of my two brightening actions before running this one on your photo.

If you have a lot of dark colors in your photo, this action for darker colors will work better than the one above.  Again, if your photo is all together too dark to begin with, use one of my lightening actions before running this one.

When your photos are too dark, run this "lightest and brightest" action and it will brighten them into a much more cheerful image.  If your photo is dark, but not as dark as the original above, use the "lighter and brighter" action below.  It is a less intense version of the one above.

If you would like to purchase my Photoshop action set, it is available for $30.  Just complete your order with this "buy now" button, which will direct you to a Paypal checkout. Be sure to include a message with your e-mail address, so that I can send you the action file, which will include each of these four actions.

    Ren, I’m afraid I don’t know what Grimp is. Sorry!

  11. I am also wondering if the actions work with Elements?

  12. Mandi says:

    Hi all,
    I don’t have access to Elements, so I’m afraid I can’t be of any help there! All I have is Photoshop, and I developed these with and for Photoshop. Sorry!

    Coryann, I’m not sure about that. I’m doing a little research first.

  22. Coryann says:

    Ok, great! Thanks Mandi!
