Well, I have finally figured out how to use Actions in Photoshop...thanks to a tutorial on Totally Rad Actions. The instructions made it so easy to understand...I don't know how I didn't do this before. So, I started playing with Actions a bit and I can tell you it is a lot of fun and VERY addicting! Only problem with playing...is that I didn't keep track of which Actions I used. I will correct that in the future. Anyway, I have found a couple of sites that Karen Russell recommended (Totally Rad Actions and Itty Bitty Actons), I also found a bunch on Polkadot Potato. These Actions can get kind of pricey, but if you purchase a little at a time...your repertoire will build to be a selection of fabulous fun! It is AMAZING what you can do with your photos in Photoshop. Next I am working on taking photos in Camera Raw and learning how to edit them myself. Time is my main challenge. So without further ado...here are the Actions I tried on one photo of my niece Lillian (I just can't decide which one I like the best).
Original picture of Lillian (3 1/2 years old). I love her pouty face!
I believe this is Color Wash (Polkadot Potato) with a texture overlay.
This one is Dirtbag which is a free download from Totally Rad Actions.
This is EZ Vignette from Polkadot Potato.
Soft Edges White (Polkadot Potato)
And finally, just Color Wash Pro from Polkadot Potato.
