In Action: Rebecca Douglas

Today we have a photograph by the lovely Rebecca Douglas to show you. Rebecca is a big fan of our actions, with her favourites being Mint Julep and California but this week she's steered clear of her trusty faves and used Hollywood Haze B+W (from Set IIII) on this super-pretty engagement shoot.

To see the rest of the pics from this shoot click here (the colour pics are processed using Liberty - also from Set IIII).

Thanks Rebecca for sharing this beautiful pic with us,

In Action: Lee Robbins

Today we wanted to share this gorgeous photo taken by the lovely Lee Robbins of Robbins Photographic.  We are always delighted to see people using our actions and this is such a beautiful example of Silverback we just had to post it here! Lee has tweaked Silverback a little, he's lessened the contrast and upped the brightness... we think it works a treat!

Keep your eye on Lee's website for more pics from Dan and Jo's wedding.

You can buy Silverback for just £5 here.

Friday Action: Add Noise

This week we've created a little Add Noise tool for you. I think it works best combined with other actions like in the example included below (with Cool Vignette and Basic Fade) - don't forget to merge the noise layer with the background (cmd + shift + e) before running another action on top! 
Have fun!

Action Of The Week: Old Photo

This week's Action Of The Week is Old Photo from Set I & II. A contrast boost and colour tint that's great for giving pics a strong film look...

Friday Action: Cool Vignette

Cool Vignette is this week's Friday Action. It's a twist on the classic vignette and an easy way to give your pics a subtle faded edge for a vintage feel!

3 Ways To Use Basic Fade

I'm a big fan of last week's £1 Action Basic Fade so thought today I'd show you some different ways to use it!

This is the image with no action on it...

1. Keep it nice and simple with Basic Fade at 100%:

2. Mix it up with Basic Fade at 50% over a strong action like Cookies And Cream (from Set I & II):

3. Create a super dreamy effect by putting Basic Fade at 40% over something like Light Haze (from Set III):

Bye for now...
